Salisbury falls to Johns Hopkins in final game of SU Tournament

Box Score

SALISBURY, Md. – The Salisbury University women's soccer team suffered its second setback of the season on Sunday afternoon, falling to Johns Hopkins University, 3-0, in the final contest of the SU Tournament.

The Blue Jays (2-0) took control early in the game, netting their first goal less than five minutes in, but Salisbury's defense held ample scoring opportunities at bay. With just two seconds left to play in the first half, Johns Hopkins would strike again. Blue Jay forward Kelly Baker entered the 18-yard box and fired a shot which was saved by sophomore goalkeeper Melissa Orgera, but Orgera was unable to clear the ball and Hopkins defender Sasha Reyes-Guerra tapped in the team's second goal of the day.

Johns Hopkins capped off the final score of the day with a goal in the 64th minute of play. Orgera played the entire 90 minutes of the game in the goal, saving nine of the 12 shots on goal kicked at her by the Blue Jays. Although Johns Hopkins outshot Salisbury 30-5 and held a 6-1 advantage in corner kicks, the Sea Gull defense tightened up immensely toward the end of the second half and eliminated any further Blue Jay scoring opportunities.

Salisbury (1-2) will look to get back to its winning ways as it travels to play Marymount (Va.) University on Wednesday at 8 p.m. It will mark the start of a string of seven road games for the maroon and gold.
