WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – SUNY Geneseo junior goalie Dayna Mercer had 12 saves, but it was Salisbury shutting out the Knights, 7-0, in the first round of the Wilkes Tournament, Friday afternoon.

The Sea Gulls (1-0) scored their first goal in the 23rd minute and didn't look back. Trailing 4-0 at the half, Geneseo (0-1) was unable to score on last year's national runner-up.

Senior goalkeeper Heidi Deppmeyer collected two saves in 11:00 of play in the Knights' season-opener.

Geneseo returns to action tomorrow in the consolation final at 12:00pm, taking on Union who lost 3-0 to host, Wilkes, in the day's other matchup.
