The Fighting Scots improved to an even 7-7 overall with a decisive 4-1 victory over the visiting Seahawks of Salve Regina University today on Gordon's Homecoming.

Finding themselves down 1-0 in just the eighth minute after Salve's Kelly Burke (Jr./Georgetown, Mass.) netted an unassisted goal for the early lead, the Scots'  Melanie Landis (So./Quakertown, Pa.) tallied the unassisted equalizer in the 20th minute to make it a 1-1 game.

With the score still deadlocked at the break, a determined Scots squad turned on the offensive heat in the second half, scoring their first of three in the stanza when Samantha Neverett (Sr./Athol, Mass.) buried the go-ahead less than one minute into the half. Then, just 30 seconds later, Clara Baker (Sr./Underhill, Vt.) widened the gap after finishing a Neverett pass in front of the net to give Gordon the 3-1 advantage. After peppering the Salve net for the remainder of the half, Gordon's Karli Balmer (Fr./Perkasie, Pa.) added one more for insurance, slotting home a Brianne Gilbert (Sr./Windsor, Conn.) assist for the 4-1 lead and eventual win.

Keeper Anna Bury (So./Huntongtown, Md.) turned away five from between the pipes for Gordon, while Murphy McCann (Fr./Westerly, R.I.) tallied an impressive 14 saves in the loss for the Seahawks.
