VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Senior All-American
Sue Ackermann scored five goals and added four
assists for the No. 2 Salisbury University women's lacrosse team on
Wednesday afternoon as the visiting Sea Gulls defeated Virginia
Wesleyan College, 17-8.
Salisbury (4-0) scored the game's first four goals as Ackermann
scored one and assisted two before the Marlins (0-1) got on the
board. The Sea Gulls scored the game's next nine goals as Ackermann
scored twice in the final minute to send the maroon and gold into
the half up 13-1.
Virginia Wesleyan came alive in the second half as Jillian Boyd
scored three goals for the Marlins as they outscored the Sea Gulls
6-3.
SU sophomore Beth Rhodey (four goals, one
assist) added two back-to-back goals late in the second half to add
some separation between the Sea Gulls and Marlins. Senior
Jessica Liston (two goals, one assist) and junior
Ashleigh Gender (two goals) were the other
multiple goal-scorers for Salisbury. Junior Jessica
Chmielewski added one goal and three assists in the win.
Salisbury heads back into conference play this Saturday as the
Sea Gulls travel to York, Pa., to face the York (Pa.) College
Spartans in a Capital Athletic Conference contest at Noon.
