Salisbury’s debut was not the prolific start the consensus had hoped for. They struggled to find a rhythm on offense and were inconsistent on defense in a 10-8 loss to Lynchburg. Key contributors for the Hornets on offense included Brett Rogers, Kyle Lewis and a slew of midfielders; perhaps though the best player on the field that day was defenseman Tyler Gallagher, who has his eyes set on establishing himself as one of, if not the, best defensemen in the country. Gallagher was a major factor in the stalling of the Sea Gull offense that was able to create 15 shots in the first quarter and then just 14 in the entire second half.
