Zimmerman Makes 10 Saves as Stevenson Falls at Home to No. 1 Salisbury, 4-0

Box Score

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Playing its third top-10 opponent in the last six games, the Stevenson field hockey team held CAC rival and No. 1-ranked Salisbury to its third-lowest goal total of the season, but the Sea Gulls scored three first half goals in a span of 11 minutes en route to a 4-0 victory Wednesday at Mustang Stadium.

The Mustangs (3-7, 1-1 CAC) held the Sea Gulls without a goal for the first 20 minutes until Kristin Fusco scored on a penalty stroke in the upper right hand corner to give her team a 1-0 lead.

Courtney Webster then added her team-leading ninth goal of the season only eight minutes later off an assist from Caitlin Walker before Walker scored on a feed from Webster just three minutes later to give Salisbury a 3-0 halftime lead.

Fusco added her second goal of the game with an unassisted tally less than four minutes into the second half to provide the final four-goal margin for the Sea Gulls.

Fusco finished with four points while Webster and Walker each had three.

Junior Kelsi Zimmerman (Odenton/Arundel) finished with 10 saves, three shy of her career-high set versus Rowan last Saturday while freshman Margaret Gill (White Hall/North Harford) added a defensive save.

Salisbury (9-0, 3-0 CAC), who extended its CAC regular-season winning streak to 31, outshot the Mustangs 26-1 and held a 12-2 advantage in penalty corners. The last conference loss for the Sea Gulls came back on Oct. 4, 2006 when they were beaten by Catholic, 1-0 at home.

Reigning CAC Defensive Player of the Week Anna Cooke was not required to make a save in picking up her fourth shutout of the season.

Stevenson travels to St. Mary's (Md.) on Saturday for a CAC contest with the Seahawks beginning at 11:30 a.m. The Mustangs are looking for their first road win of the 2011 season as they are winless in their previous five.
