SALISBURY, Md. – Salisbury University’s nationally-ranked softball team experienced both victory and defeat during their season-opening weekend at home on Sunday.
The Sea Gulls, currently ranked 18th in the nation, managed to secure one win while dropping another game at Margie Knight Sea Gull Softball Stadium. Their triumph came against 25th-ranked Swarthmore College in a dominant 6-0 shutout victory that concluded after six innings.
However, earlier in the day, Salisbury suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of The College of New Jersey, resulting in an even split for their opening weekend performance.
The day held special significance for senior player Sam Flowers, who achieved a personal milestone by recording her 100th career hit while wearing a Sea Gulls uniform during the second contest of the afternoon.
The split weekend gives the Sea Gulls a 1-1 record as they begin their campaign, with both games taking place at their home stadium in Salisbury.
