Pomona, N.J. - The Salisbury University women's
soccer team battled Richard Stockton College to a 1-1 overtime tie,
in a night game on the road. The Sea Gulls (1-0-1) were led by
senior goalie Samantha Phipps who made nine saves
on 10 shots faced.
The first half was dominated by the Osprey (1-1-1) who outshot
the Sea Gulls, 5-1, as both teams went into halftime knotted at
zero.
It didn't take long for the Sea Gull attack to get on the board
in the second frame, as junior Kate Weaver scored
her third goal of the season off an assist by senior Meghan
Mabey in the 46th minute. However, the Osprey would tie
the game in the 67th minute on an unassisted goal by Lindsay Roake.
Richard Stockton had two scoring chances in the overtime
periods, but Phipps stood strong, making saves on both of the
Osprey attempts. Salisbury was held without a shot in overtime,
despite having a corner kick in the first overtime.
RSC goalie Alex Rogers finished the game with four saves.
The Sea Gulls will next play host to top-ranked and defending
NCAA Division III national champions Messiah College on Saturday,
September 9 at 2 p.m. at the SU Soccer Complex.
