Salisbury earns No. 1 seed for upcoming CAC tournament

ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. - The Capital Athletic Conference field hockey championship will have to go through Salisbury, Md., in 2007 as the Sea Gulls earned the top-seed in the upcoming tournament. The top-seed Sea Gulls, ranked No. 2 in the country, received a first round bye and will host either fourth-seed Villa Julie College or fifth-seed University of Mary Washington on Wednesday, October 31, in the semifinals at Sea Gull Stadium. A game time has not been determined.

Salisbury (15-1, 6-0 CAC) has won every single CAC field hockey tournament it has participated in since joining the conference in 1995. Last season, the Sea Gulls had to go on the road to win their 12th straight CAC championship as they beat top-seed Catholic University of America, 3-1.

If Salisbury wins on Wednesday it will host the championship on Saturday, November 3, at Sea Gull Stadium. St. Mary's (Md.) College is the No. 2 seed and Wesley College is the No. 3 seed in the other half of the bracket.

Salisbury will close out the regular season this Wednesday (October 24) with a road game against Catholic at 4 p.m.
