COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – Joyce Anne Koubaroulis broke a 1-all
tie in the 42nd minute to help No. 15 Ursinus
remain unbeaten in conference play and defeat visiting Gettysburg
2-1 in Centennial Conference (CC) field hockey action on
Saturday.

Midgley added a pair of assists.
The lone goal for the Bullets (9-5, 6-2 CC) came unassisted

Gettysburg goalie, senior Jessy O’Neill (Lower Gwynedd, PA/Gwynedd Mercy Academy), made a career-high 22 saves in a losing effort. JoAnne Barbieri

picking up the win.
With 28:44 remaining, Koubaroulis
took a pass from Midgley and slipped
it past O’Neill to break a 1-all deadlock and give
the Bears the victory.
Ursinus got on the board early when Young took a pass from Midgley in game’s opening minute.

cage for her team-leading eighth goal of the season to even
the game at 1.

of Gettysburg’s seven total shots on the day compared to 32 for
