FREDERICKSBURG, Va. - The Salisbury University volleyball team dropped a heartbreaking 3-1 decision to Capital Athletic Conference opponent University of Mary Washington on Tuesday evening. 

The Eagles (13-5, 3-0 CAC) got the first game victory, 25-17, in a highly competitive match which lasted nearly two hours. Salisbury (10-6, 1-2 CAC) answered back in the second game with a 25-21 win to knot the match up at one apiece entering the pivotal third game. The Eagles would go on to win that set, 28-26, but it certainly was not without a fight from the maroon and gold. A 25-16 fourth game victory gave the Eagles the match.

Sophomore Carley Todd led the Gulls in the effort, notching eight kills and a team-high 14 assists. Classmate Chelsea Glowacki chipped in eight kills of her own.

Freshman Jacki Kaluzny also impressed on the court, registering a team-high 22 digs; it tied her career-best effort. Sophomore Kelly Vieira wasn't far behind, posting 16 digs. Junior Lindsey Saltzman provided her teammates with 13 assists.

The Sea Gulls have just two days to regroup for their next match, a contest at home against CAC opponent Marymount (Va.) University, on Sept. 30 at 7 p.m.
