A deflection and goal with 1:11 remaining in overtime by No. 6-ranked Salisbury ended No. 15 Washington & Jefferson’s season in the second round of the NCAA Division III field hockey tournament.

The deflection came during the 7-on-7 overtime period and came off of a penalty corner by the Sea Gulls that was called after a yellow card had already been issued against W&J, forcing the Presidents to play down a player.

The Presidents end a historic season for the program with an 18-2 overall record, surrendering only six total goals in 20 matches.
