Salisbury Women’s Lacrosse captures their fourth National Title in program history with the 14-13 win over Tufts

SALEM, VA.- With the 14-13 win over Tufts, the Salisbury Lady Gulls captured their fourth DIII national title in program history. This is coach Jim Nestors 4th title in 19 seasons.

It looked like it was going to be a run away, the Gulls jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the first twelve minutes of the game. But, the Jumbos are in the national title game for a reason. They closed the half on a 6-2 run to tie us up at 6.

In the second half, the Gulls Camryn Pepper netted an assisted goal from Lydia McNulty in the first 39 seconds of the half give the Gulls the 7-6 lead. Salisbury led the entire rest of the second half, leading by as many as four goals. In the final minute of play, with the Jumbos trailing by only one, Gulls keeper Mary Claire Hisle made the save of the game intercepting a pass across the front of the cage that looked to be the game tier. From there, SU was able to run out the clock from there to capture their fourth national title in program history, first since 2014.

Six Gulls were able to find the back of the net twice, four others with one goal a piece. Salisbury also won the ground ball battle, 15-3.
