Box Score
FROSTBURG, Md. – The sixth-ranked Salisbury University field hockey team clinched the top seed in the Capital Athletic Conference tournament with an 11-1 win against conference opponent Frostburg State University on Saturday morning. The 11 goals scored marks a season-high for the Sea Gulls. 

Salisbury (12-2, 6-0 CAC) wasted no time getting on the board as junior midfielder Courtney Webster scored off of an assist from senior back Katie Fost just 2:13 into the contest. In the 8th minute of play, a scramble in front of the Frostburg cage led to the Sea Gulls' second goal of the day, off the stick of sophomore forward Erica Henderson. Exactly one minute later junior forward Caitlin Walker made it a 3-0 game, capitalizing on one of Salisbury's 10 first-half penalty corner opportunities.

Over 10 minutes elapsed without another Sea Gull goal, but Webster broke the seal in the 18th minute to improve Salisbury's lead to four. Just over one minute later, senior forward Katy Lamboni chipped in the maroon and gold's fifth goal. The Sea Gulls' sixth and seventh scores, 47 seconds apart, came from junior forward Alison Bloodsworth to give Salisbury a 7-0 lead going into the second half. The seven first-half goals tied a season-high for Salisbury. Frostburg (3-16, 1-6 CAC) was able to get just one shot off in the first half of the contest, while Salisbury took 21 (16 of which were on-goal).  

The Bobcats scored their first and only goal in 39th minute of the game, but Salisbury continued its barrage of shots on Frostburg goalkeeper Maggie Edwards (18 saves). Goals by sophomore forward Melissa Slocum and junior midfielder Danielle Lehman improved Salisbury's lead to 9-1 with over 13 minutes left to play. The final two goals of the game, off the sticks of freshman forward Hannah Castelow and Lehman, pushed Salisbury over the 10-goal threshold. Castelow's goal marked the first of her collegiate career.

Salisbury outshot Frostburg 38-6 and held a 12-7 advantage in penalty corner opportunities. Junior keeper Anna Cooke made five saves. The maroon and gold have outscored their opponents 58-10 so far this season.

The victory secures a first-round bye and home-field advantage for Salisbury in the CAC tournament, which begins on Oct. 31. The Sea Gulls have won 15 consecutive CAC championships, dating back to 1995.

The Sea Gulls return home to wrap up regular-season conference play with a game against Wesley College on Tuesday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. The contest, dubbed "Corners for Cancer", will raise funds for breast cancer research and resources. For more information about the team's efforts, please click here
