SALISBURY, Md. - The No. 19 Salisbury University women's soccer team claimed a decisive 1-0 victory over Christopher Newport University on Wednesday at the SU Soccer Complex. The non-conference win lifted the Sea Gulls' record to 5-1-2 overall. The narrow margin of victory is not indicative of the flow of the match, as Salisbury held a decisive advantage in the number of shots taken, 25-7. 

The Sea Gulls' only goal was scored by sophomore Sam Ondrejcak (Waldorf, Md.) 12 minutes into the first half. Salisbury's relentless attack was led by sophomore Sarah Jessilonis (Pasadena, Md.) who had four shots. Sophomores Mara Hauf (Baltimore, Md.) and Danielle Crowley (Flanders, N.J.) contributed with three shots a piece. 

Salisbury's freshman goalkeeper Melissa Orgera (Arnold, Md.) had five saves on the day, and improved her goals against average to 0.12. Orgera was involved in a collision with an opposing player midway through the second half. The resulting injury resulted in a clock stoppage of over three minutes; however, the SU goalkeeper was able to remain in the game and finish off another shutout. The Salisbury defense has not allowed a goal in the last 737 minutes of play.

Christopher Newport goalkeeper Dineen Sampson had 12 saves in the match. Captains forward Emily Chesbro accounted for three of the CNU's seven shots. 

The Sea Gulls will next host the University of Mary Washington on Saturday Oct. 3, at 1 p.m.
