Junior GK Haley Casanova moved into a tie for third all-time in career shutouts ... Senior Michelle Gibbons netted the game winner in a 2-1 win over Wilkes on Sunday, as Mary Washington won a pair of games at the UMW Soccer Classic over the weekend. Her direct free kick with 10 minutes remaining moved the Eagles to 4-2 on the season ... Salisbury's Jenna Taylor scored the decisive goal in the 1-0 win over Roanoke on Saturday evening in the Shellenberger Soccer Classic in Lynchburg, Va. Salisbury goalkeeper Hope Knussman tallied nine saves in the 2-0 shutout over Virginia Wesleyan on Tuesday, the most saves for a Salisbury goalkeeper since the 2013 season ... Wesley's Janiah Moore continued her impressive freshman campaign with a goal in each of the Wolverines contests on the week. She scored the game-tying goal against Immaculata and then netted the game-winner against Rosemont on Saturday. Moore has scored six goals on the season and is tied for the lead in the CAC in goals and points. Goalkeeper Chelsea Marriner notched her first career shutout against Rosement, and made a season-high 10 saves in a 1-1 draw with Immaculata. Marriner is 2-0-2 in net on the year and has made a total of 27 saves.
