SALISBURY, Md. - It was a chilly Saturday afternoon, but the Salisbury University women's basketball team was heating things up in Maggs Physical Activities Center as the Sea Gulls squared off against the No. 7 ranked Marymount (Va.) University Saints. The undefeated Saints, a Capital Athletic Conference opponent, came away with the 63-41 victory.

The low-scoring first half (29-16) was indicative of the highly aggressive play by both the Sea Gulls (5-6, 2-2 CAC) and the Saints (14-0, 5-0 CAC). Marymount's Tara Eddy scored the first points of the game from beyond the 3-point arc; less than a minute later, freshman guard Nichole Muller (Flanders, N.J.) hit the equalizer for Salisbury. It wasn't the only time the teams would be tied in the first half, as sophomore guard KC Curran (Malvern, Pa.) netted a 3-point shot with 10:16 left to play in the first to tie the game up at 10 apiece. From that point on, the Saints began to slowly pull away and entered the locker room with a 13-point advantage over the Sea Gulls.

Marymount continued to add on to its lead in the second half, but it wasn't without a fight from the Gulls. The contest proved to be one of the most physical of the season, with both teams committing a combined 26 fouls and turning the ball over 56 times. Curran was the only Sea Gull to finish in double-digit point totals, netting 10 on the night. However, nine different Sea Gulls scored points in the game. 

The maroon and gold will remain at home for their next contest, against CAC foe York (Pa.) College on Jan. 13. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.
