Overview
Head coach Dawn Chamberlin took over as head coach at Salisbury State in 1987, one year after winning a national championship as an assistant. Flash forward to Year 17 and her first title as top dog and first in a run of three rings in a row.

Facing Middlebury in the final round, Tracey Lloyd got the Sea Gulls on the board in the sixth minute, with Brittany Elliott adding on another six minutes later. After conceding one to the Panthers and taking a 2-1 lead into halftime, Brittany and Lindsey Elliott deposited two in the cage within five minutes of each other midway through the second half. Melissa Taylor’s seven saves were more than enough to put the championship on ice for SU.

After holding off Mary Washington 3-2 for the CAC title, Salisbury bested Mount Holyoke (2-0) and Messiah (4-1) to earn a trip to the Final Four. Against TCNJ in the semifinals, Lindsey Elliott’s 15th-minute snipe was enough to secure a 1-0 win and punch SU’s first ticket to the final since 1986.

Overview
The Sea Gulls made it back-to-back crowns and extended their overall winning streak to 33 games with an emphatic 6-3 triumph over Middlebury in the national championship game. Abby Rowe’s tally in the 11th minute set up a six-minute stretch that saw contributions from Melissa Webster and Brittany Elliott to all but put it away. Megan Powell added two second-half goals, and Maria Ramoundos registered nine saves in the cage to leave no doubt.

Salisbury won its first three postseason games – two in the CAC Tournament and its NCAA Tournament opener – by a combined margin of 18-0. After a 3-2 triumph over TCNJ in the quarters, SU faced a stiff challenge from William Smith in the semis, but Erin Budd’s overtime penalty stroke sent the Sea Gulls onto the final, 2-1.

Overview
The Sea Gulls completed their three-peat by eking out a 1-0 win over an offensive-minded Messiah team in the championship. Maria Ramoundos made seven saves in a game that saw SU get outshot 17-12. In the 41st minute, Brittany Elliott fed Sarah Tracey off a penalty corner for the game’s only goal.

Fresh off another CAC title and an overall winning streak that made it to 44 games dating back to 2003, Salisbury blitzed Oberlin (4-0) and Rowan (4-1) to advance to the Final Four. After seeing an early 2-0 lead over Ursinus disappear, Ashley Twigg’s unassisted tally in the 57th minute provided the difference for the Sea Gulls in the semis, 3-2.

Overview

The Sea Gulls closed the 2000s with their fourth championship of the decade and avenged their only loss of the season by blanking top-ranked Messiah 1-0 in the national championship. Four minutes into the match, Michelle Rowe inserted a penalty corner to Tara McGovern, who fed Caitlin Walker on the left side of the cage for the contest’s only tally.

Salisbury overcame the early-season loss of top-line scorer Kandice Hancock to win the CAC title. After opening the NCAA Tournament with a 4-0 trouncing of Wooster, SU snuck past Cortland (3-2) and Tufts (1-0) in the quarters and semis, respectively, riding clutch goalkeeping from Anna Cooke to earn their “one for the thumb” fifth ring.
