SALISBURY, Md. – Salisbury University’s women’s basketball team saw their championship hopes dashed Saturday evening as they dropped a 73-57 decision to Christopher Newport University in the Coast-to-Coast Conference Tournament final.
The Sea Gulls hosted the title game at Maggs Gymnasium but were unable to capitalize on their home court advantage against the Captains. The 16-point margin marked the end of Salisbury’s tournament run and their bid for an automatic berth into the NCAA Division III postseason.
Christopher Newport claimed the Coast-to-Coast Conference crown with the victory, earning the league’s automatic qualification for March Madness. The championship game concluded the conference tournament that determines the league’s representative in the national tournament.
