1. Salisbury used a big second half to down Gettysburg 14-9 in a battle of No. 1 vs. No. 2 in Division III women’s lacrosse.
After a back-and-forth first half that ended at 6-6, Salisbury took over in the third quarter. Lydia McNulty had two of her four goals in the 6-2 third quarter that helped the Sea Gulls pull away for good.
