SU moves onto the semifinals with 11-0 shutout of Goucher
SALISBURY, Md. - Salisbury University took care of business in the first round of the Capital Athletic Conference Field Hockey Tournament as it buried Goucher College 11-0 on Sunday afternoon at Sea Gull Field. SU received hat tricks from freshman Lauren Correll and sophomore Jerre Carter as the Sea Gulls advance to the CAC semifinals where they will host third-seed St. Mary’s (Md.) on Wednesday, November 1.

The Sea Gulls (15-3) used dynamic performances from Correll and Carter who each scored three goals in a half. Correll notched three in the first half and Carter did her damage in the second frame.

Salisbury opened the scoring less than 10 minutes into the contest as Correll netted the eventual game-winner on a backhand shot off a rebound. Senior Megan Powell scored her 24th and 25th goals of the season in the first half and senior Abby Rowe banged home her 12th goal on a precise feed from fellow senior Lynette Sgrignoli. Salisbury led 6-0 at the half.

In the second half, the Gulls rested their starters to give the SU bench valuable game experience. Juniors Ashley Spencer and Lauren Dietz found the back of the cage to complement the Carter hat trick.

Salisbury held Goucher (1-14) shotless while SU racked up 38. Aline Haddad made 16 saves, two of which came on penalty strokes, for the Gophers. Danielle Marks and Jen Madera each had a defensive save.

Salisbury continues its quest toward a 12th consecutive CAC title as it hosts St. Mary’s on
