ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. - The Salisbury University women's basketball team hit the road on Wednesday night to play in its second Capital Athletic Conference match of the season, against St. Mary's (Md.) College, coming away with a 64-59 victory. The win improves the Sea Gulls' CAC record to a perfect 2-0, as they defeated Hood College 68-65 back on Dec. 2.

Salisbury (5-1, 2-0 CAC) fell behind early in the game as St. Mary's (2-6, 1-2 CAC) went on a 6-0 scoring run in the first two minutes of play. Undeterred, the Sea Gulls chipped away at the Seahawks' lead, eventually taking over with just under nine minutes to play in the half. Salisbury dominated the half from that point on, entering the locker room at halftime with a 37-30 advantage over St. Mary's. Senior forwards Kylie Hall (Baltimore, Md.) and Janay Johnson (Baltimore, Md.) led the maroon and gold in the first half, netting 10 and 13 points, respectively. 

Salisbury trailed only once in the second half as St. Mary's player Steph Saint-Aubin hit a three-pointer with two minutes remaining in the game to give the Seahawks a 59-58 advantage. Sophomore guard K.C. Curran (Malvern, Pa.) answered back with a clutch three-pointer of her own, putting the Sea Gulls up 61-59 with just 57 seconds left in the contest. Hall posted her fifth double-double of the season, scoring a career-high 23 points and pulling down 15 rebounds. Johnson finished the night with 16 points, and Curran netted nine points in the Sea Gull victory.

The Sea Gulls have gotten off to a fantastic start this season; their only loss, against Hamilton College on Dec. 4, was by just two points. Salisbury looks to continue its success on the road as the team faces off against Goucher College on Dec. 12 at 2 p.m. SU's next home game will be on Jan. 9 at 2 p.m. against CAC opponent Marymount (Va.) University.
