SALISBURY, Md. – Salisbury University’s softball team experienced both triumph and defeat during their 2026 season opener on Saturday at Margie Knight Sea Gull Softball Stadium.
The 18th-ranked Sea Gulls kicked off their campaign with a commanding 13-5 victory over 25th-ranked Swarthmore College in a game that concluded after six innings. However, their momentum was halted in the second contest of the doubleheader when The College of New Jersey shut them out 3-0.
The split decision marked the beginning of what promises to be another competitive season for the Sea Gulls program as they welcomed fans back to their home stadium for the opening day festivities.
