This weekend I went down to Salisbury University to visit old friends and watch a battle between the undefeated Salisbury Lacrosse Champs and Gettysburg College. I knew it would be probably be a close game, and undoubtedly a good game; I had no idea what would really happen.
Gettysburg College beat the Seagulls 11-10...that's right, Salisbury lost. If you don't follow Salisbury lacrosse (which many, probably don't) this ended the Seagull winning streak of 55 consecutive wins, 87 consecutive regular-season wins, and 80 consecutive home wins (According to the Salisbury Sports Information Department). This was the first home-game loss in 6 years, talk about a tough game. This loss knocked Salisbury out of the Number One spot for division three lacrosse all the way down to number four; the first time the Seagulls haven't been number one in three seasons.
It was a game that probably every fan of Salisbury lacrosse, or lacrosse in general (If they happened to be in the stands watching) will remember. It was a fight until the very end, with every fan and player biting their nails awaiting for the final goal.
Well played Salisbury...and kudos to Gettysburg for breaking the streak.
