SALISBURY, Md. - After a heartbreaking 69-68 loss at the hands of Capital Athletic Conference opponent Gallaudet University back on Jan. 6, the Salisbury University women's basketball team set out to even things up on Wednesday night. The Sea Gulls squared off against the Bison once again and not only evened up the season series with a convincing win, 87-48, but did so in record-setting fashion.

Salisbury (8-11, 5-6 CAC) dominated play from the tip-off, going on a 21-4 run in the first eight minutes of the game to take a commanding lead over the Bison (10-9, 5-7 CAC). The Sea Gulls' lead would be further extended as they took a 42-16 lead into the locker room, an astounding 26-point advantage; it marked not only this season's largest leading margin the Sea Gulls have had at the end of a first half, but also the fewest points they have allowed in a half. The maroon and gold were led by sophomore guard Glen Charlton (Landover, Md.), who was the only Sea Gull to hit double-digits in the first half. To go along with her 10 points, Charlton had three steals; freshman forward Nicole Sisco (Fairlawn, N.J.) also stole the ball three times in addition to her eight rebounds.

Salisbury continued to score buckets in the second half, going on a 16-2 scoring run that extended the Sea Gull lead to 38. Senior forward Kylie Hall (Baltimore, Md.) notched her 11^th double-double of the season, scoring 16 points and pulling down 10 rebounds. Charlton finished with 18 points and tied her single-season high in steals, grabbing five. Sisco, a freshman, hit her career-high in steals as she finished with a team-high six. It was a breakout game for freshman guard Tabitha Russell (Lanham, Md.) who hit career-high totals in total points (5), steals (4), assists (3) and minutes played (14). The 39-point margin of victory marks Salisbury's best since the 2007-08 season, when the Gulls beat the Bison by 55 points.

Tonight's win brings Salisbury's all-time CAC record against Gallaudet to 24-7; the Sea Gulls have won the last 22 of 23 contests against the Bison. Salisbury's next game will be on the road, against CAC opponent York (Pa.) College, on Feb. 6 at 4 p.m. The maroon and gold's next home contest, which is also the WBCA Pink Zone game, will be against CAC opponent Stevenson University on Feb. 13. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m.
