SALISBURY, Md. – The Salisbury University women's soccer team fell to the John Carroll University Blue Streaks 2-0 on Sunday afternoon in the last fixture of the Salisbury University Classic at the Gerry DiBartolo Sea Gull Soccer Complex.
The Sea Gulls (0-4-1) earned a high-quality chance from
Brooke Spadin in the eighth minute that was turned aside by
Madison Skeese of the Blue Streaks (2-2-1). John Carroll's first chance of the outing was stopped by
Aley Martins roughly eight minutes later. Martins recorded a pair of saves during the rest of the segment to keep the match scoreless.
A 55th-minute strike from Brooke Berkowitz gave JCU the lead. The Blue Streaks would give themselves a cushion after they hit paydirt in the 74th minute.
Ava Wheeler lasered a shot looking to trim the deficit minutes later, but Skeese punched her bid over the net, and
Audrey Kregelka attempted SU's final attempt of the afternoon, which was kept out by Skeese.
