Football: Bombers fall to Salisbury in conference opener

The football team opened up Empire 8 conference play Saturday afternoon at Salisbury University with a 21-7 loss to the Seagulls.

On defense senior linebacker Joe Gilfedder tallied 14 tackles and junior free safety Josh Liemer had 10 tackles.

The Seagulls controlled the ball for 37:25 to the Bombers’ 22:35 utilizing a flexbone option offense, running the ball 60 times for a net total of 309 yards and 19 first downs on the ground.
