Owings Mills, MD- Villa Julie women's soccer hosted the Salisbury University Seagulls in their second CAC game of the season. Despite aggressive play by forward Tonia Cristino (Lancaster, PA/Hempfield) and midfielder Rose Phelan (Carney, MD/Loch Raven), the Mustangs were unable to score. Salisbury won 1-0, scoring the game's lone goal in the 36 th minute. Mustang goalkeeper Casey Brown (Poolesville, MD/Poolesville) played a strong defensive second half, not allowing the Seagulls to score as she made five saves. VJC sophomore Meghan Smith (Stevensville,MD/Kent Island) also played unrelenting defense.

Today's 1-0 loss shows great improvement for Villa Julie as they celebrate a hard-fought moral victory. The last time the Mustangs matched up with Salisbury during the 2006 season, Salisbury won 8-1. The Mustangs next game will be on Thursday, September 27, when they host CAC opponent St. Mary's College at 4:00 p.m.
