Sea Gulls score early goal, hold off Wesley in CAC opener

SALISBURY, Md. - The Salisbury University women's soccer team defeated Route 13 rival and Capital Athletic Conference foe Wesley College, 1-0, Wednesday afternoon at the SU Soccer Complex.

Salisbury (3-2-2, 1-0 CAC) scored three minutes into the game, in an unconventional style, when Wesley back Becky Krebs attempted to clear the ball from her own box. Her pass was deflected right into the goal off of the body of junior Christina Eury.

The Gulls held the 1-0 advantage at halftime and did not look back in their conference opener. SU outshot the Wolverines 7-1 in the first half and 17-2 for the game. The Sea Gull defense prevented Wesley (3-2-0, 1-2-0 CAC) from getting a single shot on goal.

The shutout victory was senior goalie Gena Goodson's second of the season as she played the full 90 minutes in the net for SU.

Salisbury will remain at home this Saturday when they host Stevenson University (formerly known as Villa Julie College) in a CAC game that begins at 12:30 p.m.
