The Salisbury women's team (7-2, 1-0 CAC), ranked ninth in the Atlantic South region, made quick work of the Spartans (1-7, 0-1 CAC) as the Sea Gulls swept three points at doubles before they earned six points in singles play.

Junior Jackie Burr (first singles), junior Rachel Iosue (second singles), senior Robyn Wendell (fifth singles) and junior Kristen King (sixth singles) won their respective matches.

SU was slated to travel to Wesley College earlier in the day for conference matches but that was postponed due to the weather and poor court conditions. No make-up date has been announced at this time.

The Sea Gulls are slated to partake in two away contests tomorrow (March 29), weather permitting, in the Baltimore metro region. In the morning, the SU men's team will face Hood College at 11 a.m. in Frederick, Md., while the women play at Stevenson University at the same time. The two teams will swap places at 3 p.m. with the men going to Stevenson and the women at Hood.
