FORT DETRICK, Md. - Freshman forward Nicole Sisco (Fairlawn, N.J.) had a breakout game for the Salisbury University women's basketball team Wednesday night. Sisco finished with a career-high 15 rebounds and matched her career best with 11 points, coming up with her first collegiate double-double, as the Sea Gulls topped Hood College, 54-38.

Salisbury's defense was in top form, as the 38 points scored by the Blazers was the lowest total allowed by the Sea Gulls since they held Gallaudet University to 35 points on Feb. 13, 2008. Hood (4-13, 1-9 Capital Athletic Conference) connected on just 11 field goals, a low-water mark of any Salisbury opponent this season. The Blazers' 24.4 field goal percentage, was the second-lowest total allowed by the Sea Gulls.

Salisbury (7-10, 4-6 CAC) trailed only once Wednesday, 7-6, seven minutes into the contest, but took the lead back on a pair of free throws by senior forward Kylie Hall (Baltimore, Md.) . The Sea Gulls stretched their lead to seven points by the break and put the game away on with a 12-2 run midway through the second half, going up by 19 points with four minutes to play.

Hall scored five of the 12 points during the run; she finished with 10 points, as it was the Salisbury forwards that owned the night. Senior forward Janay Johnson (Baltimore, Md.) had a strong night, matching her season-best 16 points, most of any player in the game. She also pulled down eight rebounds. The Sea Gulls outrebounded Hood 53-31 in the game.

The win is Salisbury's seventh consecutive against Hood, dating back to the 2004-05 season.

Salisbury will travel to Rowan University Monday night before jumping back into Capital Athletic Conference play next Wednesday when it hosts Gallaudet University at Maggs Physical Activities Center.
