WASHINGTON D.C. – The Salisbury University women's soccer team ended its weekend slate with a 3-3 tie with the Catholic Cardinals on Sunday after an explosion of offense in the first half. 

BOX SCORE 

HOW IT HAPPENED 

• Just three minutes into the match, a nearby factory fire created a smoke screen on the field and delayed the match until 3 p.m. 
• That fire may have sparked something both offenses as just five minutes after the restart, Catholic's, Jordan Siok found Taylor Porcello for the first goal of the match. 
• Porcello scored again five minutes later off a rebound from a save by Salisbury goalkeeper, Emma Hill. 
• The Sea Gulls responded quickly scoring twice in the 15th minute. SU's first goal of the game was scored by Ally Goetz off a penalty kick after Kasey Lamb drew the foul inside the box. Seconds after the restart, Kara Schmidt launched a pass up to Autumn Dougherty, who beat the keeper and tied the game at two. 
• In the 20th minute, Schmidt bent a corner kick just enough to hit off the far post and give Salisbury the 3-2 advantage in the first half. 
• After a corner kick, Alexa Adelmann managed to find Filomena DeGregorio who ripped the top right corner to nod the game at three in the 53rd minute. 
• The Sea Gulls had back-to-back shots by Anna Dimitriades late in the second overtime, both shots just missing the goal by inches. 
• Hill made a clutch save in a one-on-one situation with just four minutes left in the game.
