Two Second-Half Goals Give Salisbury 2-0 Win over Hood Women

SALISBURY, Md.--The Salisbury University Sea Gulls (8-3-2, 5-1 CAC) scored a pair of goals in a span of 5:29 midway through the second half to earn a 2-0 Capital Athletic Conference victory over the Hood College women's soccer team (7-6-1, 2-5 CAC) Saturday afternoon.

The Sea Gull defense stimied the Blazer attack, limiting Hood to just two shots on the day. But the Blazers contained Salisbury as well through the first 45 minutes and the two teams went into the break deadlocked at 0-0.

Salisbury finally broke through when defender Erin Mooney picked up her third tally of the fall off a feed from Christina Eury in the 61st minute. Midfielder Danielle Crowley found the back of the net for the first time this season when she took advantage of a defensive miscue by the Blazers in the 66th minute.

Junior keeper Rachelle Buhrman stopped a season-high 14 shots in defeat. Hood's lone shot on goal off the foot of senior Nikki Antalffy was turned aside by Melissa Orgera in the fifth minute of the game. Orgera and Samantha Kaufman combined for the shutout, Salisbury's CAC-best eighth of the year.

Hood hits the road again Tuesday for a 4 p.m. nonconference game at Lancaster Bible College.
