scored again for a three-goal lead before Ettinger put Ursinus on the board with
an unassisted marker at 11:11. Delauney’s free-position goal minutes later made
it 4-1 and touched off a 6-0 Bullet run.
Sixty-nine
seconds after Delauney completed her hat trick, Lowe scooped a broken clearing
attempt and scored to register the 100th point of her collegiate career. Quinn

Zappacosta (Monkton, MD/Maryvale Prep) to make it 6-1 and force a Bear
