Seahawks hold off second half surge by Sea Gulls
SALISBURY, Md. – Coaches versus Cancer night ended on a sour note for the Salisbury University women's basketball team as it fell, 71-64, to Capital Athletic Conference member St. Mary's (Md.) College on Thursday night in front of a crowd of 150 at the Maggs Center.

The Sea Gulls had four players score in double-figures led by senior Jessica Mills who finished with 15 points and five rebounds. Junior Meghan Phillips (11 points) and seniors Jenna Peters (10 points) and Meghan Klug (10 points) each notched double-digit games as well.

Salisbury (12-10, 6-6 CAC) pulled within three points with 10 minutes left in the game but couldn't get any closer as the Sea hawks (9-11, 4-7 CAC) shot 45 percent from the field for the game.

The Sea Gulls outrebounded St. Mary’s 46-35 as they were led by sophomore Lindsay Martin who pulled down a game-high 12 boards.

The Seahawks were led by freshman Stephanie Saint-Aubin who poured in a game-high 20 points. All of St. Mary's eight players scored a point during the game.

With the win, St. Mary's evens the season series with Salisbury at 1-1.

The Sea Gulls have now dropped two straight CAC games and fall to .500 in the conference standings for the first time all season.

Salisbury will return to action on Saturday, February 10, as it travels to Washington, D.C., to face CAC opponent Catholic University.
