OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Trailing 10-3 less than two
minutes into the second half, Stevenson scored six of the game's
next seven goals, including three from junior Megan Weiss
(Odenton/Seton), but No. 1 Salisbury netted three of the
final four and held on for a 14-10 victory over the 18th-ranked
Mustangs Saturday at Caves Athletics Complex.
The loss was the first in the last seven at home for Stevenson
(8-4, 3-2 CAC) who held the Sea Guls to their third-lowest output
of the season.
Weiss and senior Lauren Zegowitz
(Gaithersburg/Damascus) combined for seven of the
Mustangs' 10 goals, including five of their seven in the second
half.
With three points, Weiss now has 99 for her career. She scored
all three of her goals in a span of 2:22 in the second half as
Stevenson scored four-straight to rally from a six-goal deficit and
pull within two with over 14 minutes remaining.
Weiss started the run with her first goal on a free position at
16:34 before senior Kristyna Hnizda (Manchester/North
Carroll) added her lone tally at 14:55. Weiss then
followed with back-to-back goals just 24 seconds apart as the
Mustangs totaled three goals in a span of only 43 seconds.
Salisbury (12-0, 4-0 CAC) maintained its two goal advantage
after Zegowitz's fourth goal of the contest with 5:55 left and
sealed its 47th-straight CAC victory after goals by Trish
DiGirolomo and Logan Bilderback in the final 3:16.
Stevenson held a 34-33 edge in shots, 17-9 advantage in draw
controls and committed 13 less fouls then the Sea Gulls, but could
not overcome a six-goal first half deficit in which it totaled 10
turnovers and was 5-of-9 on clears.
The Mustangs managed to stay within striking distance due to the
play of sophomore Jenny Schroeder (Severna Park/Seton
Keough) who made seven of her 11 saves in the half while
facing 21 Salisbury shots.
DiGirolomo had a game-high six points for the Sea Gulls while
Aileen McCausland had four goals and Kim Cudmore finished with one
goal and two assists. Julie Ann Caulfield had nine saves before
Keli Berkman made two over the final 12:30 to preserve the win.
Stevenson hosts St. Mary's (Md.) next Saturday on Senior Day.
