Salisbury Blanks St. Mary's

Box Score

St. Mary's City, Md. - Junior midfielder Christina Eury (Germantown, Md./Damascus) notched a goal and an assist in leading Salisbury University to a 2-0 shutout victory over St. Mary's College of Maryland in Capital Athletic Conference women's soccer action Saturday afternoon, spoiling the Seahawks' Homecoming.

The Seahawks (4-9-1, 2-3-1 CAC) and Salisbury (10-1-1, 6-1 CAC) played to a scoreless first half as the Sea Gulls edged SMCM 5-4 in shots.

Salisbury, who is ranked sixth in this week's NCAA Division III Middle Atlantic Regional Poll, broke the 0-0 tie at 54:56 when Eury put back the rebound from junior goalkeeper Marie Oben's (Glenn Dale, Md./St. Mary's-Annapolis) initial save of senior forward Kate Weaver's (Abingdon, Md./Edgewood) shot.

The Sea Gulls sealed the win at 68:42 as Eury kicked a short corner to sophomore defender Hillary Grove (Hagerstown, Md./North Hagerstown) who then chipped in the ball over Oben's head at the near left post.

Salisbury posted a 12-9 advantage in shots, while the Seahawks held a 4-3 margin in penalty kicks.

Oben finished with six saves and two goals against, while junior Gena Goodson (Great Mills, Md./Great Mills) recorded five stops in her third shutout of the season.

The Seahawks will return to action Thursday, October 18 when St. Mary's hosts Capital Athletic Conference foe, Marymount (Va.) University, at 3:30 in Seahawk Stadium.  Salisbury will host Richard Stockton College in non-conference play on October 15 at 4:00.
