UNION, N.J. - The Salisbury University women's basketball season got underway at the Kean University Cougar Classic on Saturday as the Sea Gulls squared off against one of the top teams in the country.

Sherrita Hall scored six points and forced two steals and blocked a shot. Freshman Katharine Curran grabbed five rebounds and forced a steal against the tough Yellow Jacket team.

Baldwin-Wallace (1-0) was led by three double-digit scorers in Amanda Schroeder (12 points), Serena Farage (10 points) and Dianadra Bremond (10 points).
