Daniel Udoh's first-half goal secured Shrewsbury their first home win in seven league games with a 1-0 victory over rock-bottom Carlisle.
After a quiet opening 40 minutes, Shrewsbury broke the deadlock just before the interval through leading scorer Udoh.
The 27-year-old received a ball into the box and did well to hold off a defender before spinning and firing past Harry Lewis at his near post.
Shrewsbury nearly doubled their lead three minutes later when Carl Winchester struck from inside the box, but Lewis tipped the ball out for a corner.
Carlisle came close to an equaliser through Dan Butterworth just before the hour.
