Box Score

 Jesse Gemberling-Johnson (Wyndmoor, PA/Christopher Dock) took three of the Bullets’ five shots on the afternoon, including one of two turned aside by Green Terror goalie Andrew Wu. Pat Brown (Far Hills, NJ/Ridge) and Chris Bayon (Langhorne, PA/Lawrenceville [NJ]) recorded Gettysburg’s other two shots.

 The deadlock gave McDaniel (11-3-2, 5-1-2 CC) a leg up in the race for the No. 1 seed in next weekend’s CC playoffs. The Bullets (7-5-4, 4-1-3 CC) are among a group of teams with 15 points, trailing the Green Terror by two heading into the regular season’s final game on Saturday.

 At the end of Wednesday, only five points separated the conference’s top seven teams. The top five qualify for the CC postseason.

 Todd Knepper took a game-high four shots to pace McDaniel, which held a 14-5 advantage in shots and a 13-1 edge in corner kicks for the day. Will Talesnick added three shots while James DeFrances forced Wells-Bundtzen to stop both of his attempts.

 Despite taking all seven first-half shots, the Green Terror was unable to solve Wells-Bundtzen. The Bullet keeper made three stops in a five-minute span midway through the half, tipping a long shot by DeFrances over the crossbar, then halting attempts by DeFrances and Michael Holt.

 Gettysburg’s first scoring opportunity was its best. Brown received the ball to the right of the McDaniel cage in the 62nd minute, took a dribble and unleashed a low drive that Wu dove to deflect, preserving the shutout.

 The Green Terror nearly won in regulation when Talesnick turned a shot on Wells-Bundtzen and Knepper headed the rebound just over the crossbar with fewer than five minutes remaining. Wells-Bundtzen was forced to tip another Knepper header over the bar with less than one minute left in the second half.

 After a relatively quiet 18 minutes of overtimes, both teams made one last push for the win.

 A McDaniel foul at the top of the box gave the Bullets a free kick from 20 yards away with fewer than two minutes remaining, but Gemberling-Johnson sent his shot just wide of the left post.

 The Green Terror appeared to have won the game moments later, but a cross that was deflected into the goal was called back as a handball.

 The shutout was Wells-Bundtzen’s sixth of the season, increasing his career-high total for a single season. The deadlock was Wu’s fifth in his last six games.

 Gettysburg returns to action and wraps up the regular season on Saturday at home against Dickinson. Game time is 4 p.m.
