SALISBURY, Md. - The Salisbury University men's basketball team played in its fifth consecutive Capital Athletic Conference match-up on Monday night, hosting the University of Mary Washington Eagles at Maggs Physical Activities Center. The maroon and gold took control of the game in the second half, coming away with a solid 80-71 victory. 

It was raining three-pointers in the first half of the game as four different Sea Gulls capitalized from behind the arc. One of those Sea Gulls, freshman guard Dylan Robeson (Fairfax, Va.), scored his first points in maroon and gold with 8:25 left in the first half to give Salisbury (7-8, 3-4 CAC) a one-point advantage over Mary Washington (6-9, 3-4 CAC). Salisbury would retain that one-point lead and the Sea Gulls ended the first half up by one, 34-33. 

That one-point lead would grow significantly in the second half, as Salisbury began to dominate the contest and pull away from Mary Washington. Senior guard/forward Greg Palmer (Salisbury, Md.), who recently notched his 1,000^th career point, racked up an additional 29 points, his season-high, in the victory. Fellow senior guard Devin Jones (Severn, Md.), who netted 23 points, bested his previous career-high in assists by one as he dished out eight in the win against the Eagles.

Salisbury will look to continue its winning ways, on the road, as the maroon and gold square off against CAC opponent Stevenson University on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The Sea Gulls' next home game will be on Saturday, Jan. 23, against CAC foe St. Mary's (Md.) College. Tip-off is set for 4 p.m.
