Salisbury drops third straight, lose in double overtime
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Salisbury University women's soccer team dropped its third straight contest Saturday afternoon as the defending Capital Athletic Conference champions Catholic University of America won 1-0 in double overtime.

The Sea Gulls were outshot by the Cardinals 15-9, including 5-0 in the two overtime periods. 

The Cardinals (4-2, 1-0 CAC) had several opportunities to score in the first half, totaling seven corner kicks (11 for the game), but the Sea Gull defense stood strong. Senior goalie Samantha Phipps made three first half saves, five for the entire game.

The lone goal of the game came in the 106th minute, when Kelly Andersen corralled teammate Suzie Peters' blocked shot and fired home the game-winner.

Salisbury (1-3-1, 0-1) has now lost two straight to Catholic, after winning eight straight regular season match-ups dating back to the 1998 season.

The Sea Gulls return to the field on Wednesday, September 20 as they play host to the College of Notre Dame at the SU Soccer Complex. The game is set for a 4:30 p.m. start.
