October 25th Division II & III Highlights From Around The State

Here is a recap of the Maryland colleges that are members in either Division II or III and who were victorious on Wednesday night:

BOWIE STATE BULLDOGS – Women’s Volleyball (Division II – CIAA)

BOWIE, Md. – In a non-conference match-up Wednesday night, the Bowie State Bulldogs (4-19) made it three consecutive match victories in a row, as they swept visiting Washington Adventist University (4-9), three sets to none (25-13; 25-20; 25-17).

Bulldogs Senior OH Tia Williams and Freshman OH Sydney Tucker each had a team-high six kills with Tucker adding in three service aces of her own.  The Bulldogs played a fairly clean match from the first point of the first set to the final point of the third set, committing only 11 attack errors total.

FROSTBURG STATE BOBCATS – Men’s Soccer (Division III – Capital Athletic Conference)

FROSTBURG, Md. – Junior D Haven Mackie had both a penalty kick goal and a breakaway goal as the Frostburg State Bobcats (6-10-2; 4-5-0 CAC) won their third game in a row Wednesday night at Bobcat Stadium against the  Southern Virginia (4-14-0; 1-8-0 CAC), by a score of 3-0.

Bobcats Senior F Mukol Harris added another penalty kick and Freshman GK Juan Bofill saved all seven shots he faced in the match.

FROSTBURG STATE BOBCATS – Women’s Soccer (Division III – Captial Athletic Conference)

BUENA VISTA, Va. – At Knight Stadium on Wednesday night, the Frostburg State Bobcat women’s soccer team (8-7-2; 7-1-1 CAC) won their fifth consecutive game, 1-0, against the Southern Virginia Knights (6-9-2; 3-5-1 CAC).

Sophomore F Brooke Shehade’s goal at the 33:49 mark (with an assist from Junior F Hailey Turney) was the difference for the Bobcats as Junior GK Emily Faust had six saves total.

With the victory, Frostburg State secures the #1 seed in the 2017 CAC Women’s Soccer Tournament.  They will host the winner of the Salisbury Sea Gulls/Penn State Harrisburg Nittany Lion first round match-up.  Should the Bobcats make it past that match, they will host the CAC Finals at Bobcat Stadium as well.

JOHNS HOPKINS BLUE JAYS – #10 Women’s Soccer (Division III – Centennial Conference)

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – After having a hat trick in her last game, Johns Hopkins Blue Jays Senior F Michelle Santangelo scored another two goals and teammates Freshman F Riley O’Toole and Sophomore M Emily Maheras each added a goal as the Blue Jays clinched the #1 seed in the 2017 Centennial Conference Women’s Soccer Tournament by defeating the Gettysburg Bullets, 4-1, Wednesday afternoon at Clark Field.

Santangelo’s 14 goals and 31 points for Johns Hopkins (14-2-1; 9-0-0 Centennial Conference) are both second-best in the Centennial Conference this season. Sophomore F Isabel Klatt scored the lone goal for Gettysburg (8-6-2; 5-4-0)

As the top seed, the Blue Jays will host one of the two semi-final games and should they advance to the finals, it will be played at Homewood Field in Baltimore.

JOHNS HOPKINS BLUE JAYS – #17 Women’s Volleyball (Division III – Centennial Conference)

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – At Bream Gym Wednesday afternoon, the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays (21-3; 9-0 Centennial Conference) won their 19th consecutive conference match as they defeated the Gettysburg Bullets (19-8; 4-5 Centennial Conference), three sets to one (25-10; 22-25; 26-24; 25-19).

Freshman OH Simone Bliss had a match-high 14 kills for the Blue Jays and the team played a flawless final set, committed no errors in the fourth set.

For the Bullets, Senior MH Lauren Godshack had 13 kills.

With the win, Johns Hopkins heads into the upcoming 2017 Centennial Conference Women’s Volleyball Tournament as the #1 seed.  It is the third year in a row that the Blue Jays have had that honor.  As in most Division III conference tournaments, if you are the #1 overall seed, you automatically host one of the two semi-final games on your home court and should you advance to the finals, you get the distinction of having the championship determined on your home court as well.

MCDANIEL GREEN TERROR – Women’s Volleyball (Division III – Centennial Conference)

CARLISLE, Pa. – The McDaniel Green Terror scored the final three points of the fifth set to win their match against the Dickinson Red Devil at Kline Center Wednesday night, three sets to two (24-26; 25-15; 25-13; 20-25; 15-11).

For McDaniel (17-7; 5-4 Centennial Conference), Senior OPP Teryn Rath had a match-high 20 kills and a .231 hitting percentage against the Dickinson (9-16; 2-7 Centennial Conference) defense.

Senior MH Anastasiya Khlopina had 14 kills for the Red Devil in defeat.

The Green Terror will secure the #5 seed in the 2017 Centennial Conference Women’s Volleyball Tournament if McDaniel defeats the Ursinus Bears in the season finale game AND the Haverford Fords loses to the Swarthmore Garnet over the weekend.

ST. MARY’S MARYLAND SEAHAWKS – Women’s Soccer (Division III – Captial Athletic Conference)

ST. MARY’S CITY, Md. – By defeating the York (PA) Spartans Wednesday afternoon, 2-0, in women’s soccer, the St. Mary’s Maryland Seahawks secured the #4 seed in the upcoming 2017 Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) Women’s Soccer Tournament this weekend.

SALISBURY, Md. – The Sea Gulls extended their winning streak to five matches Wednesday afternoon at Sea Gull Stadium and Salisbury downed in-state rival, the St. Mary’s Maryland Seahawks, 2-0 in women’s field hockey.

Scoring a goal each for Salisbury (11-3; 5-1 CAC) were two freshman, F/M Jenna Partilla & F Rebecca Lloyd.  Even more amazing was the fact the Senior GK Tressie Windsor did not face a single shot on goal for the entire match.

The victory allowed the Sea Gulls to secure the #2 seed in the 2017 Capital Athletic Conference Women’s Field Hockey Tournament.  On November 1st, they will host the #3 seed in the tournament, York (PA) Spartans in the CAC Semi-Finals.

SALISBURY SEA GULLS – Women’s Soccer (Division III – Capital Athletic Conference)

DOVER, De. – In a day that was truly great for all the women’s fall programs at Salisbury, the Sea Gulls women’s soccer team got a victory of their own Wednesday, routing the Wesley Wolverines, 6-0.

Salisbury (9-9-0; 7-2-0 CAC) out-shot Wesley (3-12-1; 0-9-0 CAC) 20-1 in the first half and 34-7 for the entire match.

Senior S Ruthie Lucas had two of Salisbury’s six goals and Freshman GK Emma Hill replaced teammate Senior GK Hope Knussman after it was evident that the Sea Gulls were going to cruise to victory.

Salisbury will enter the 2017 Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) Women’s Soccer Tournament as the #3 seed and will host the Penn State-Harrisburg Nittany Lion, the #6 seed in a CAC First Round game Saturday afternoon at Sea Gull Stadium.  Kick-off is scheduled for 1:00 pm.

SALISBURY SEA GULLS – Women’s Volleyball (Division III – Capital Athletic Conference)

CHESTERTOWN, Md. – In their home finale for 2017, the Washington College Shorewomen defeated the Ursinus Bears, three sets to none (25-7; 25-19; 25-20), Wednesday night at Cain Athletic Center.

Junior OH Kaitlyn Marino had a match-high 10 kills for the Shorewomen (17-10; 3-6 Centennial Conference).  Unfortunately, Washington College’s conference record was not good enough to qualify for the 2017 Centennial Conference Women’s Volleyball Tournament.

The Shorewomen will close out their 2017 season on Friday afternoon when they visit the Muhlenberg Mules (23-5; 7-2 Centennial Conference).
