Box Score

 Cassidy Zappacosta (Monkton, MD/Maryvale Prep) and Ellie Shihadeh (Malvern, PA/Conestoga) added two goals apiece for the three-time defending champion Bullets (14-3), who will face top-seeded Franklin & Marshall in the conference championship game on Sunday at 1 p.m. The Diplomats reached their third straight final with a 17-6 win over McDaniel on Saturday.

 With her four-goal outing, Delauney reached the 40-goal mark for the second consecutive year and continued to vex the Bears (9-6) in the postseason. The senior, who scored three times to stake Gettysburg to a 5-1 halftime lead, scored a career-high eight goals in last year’s semifinal victory against Ursinus.
 
Aubrey Andre led the Bears with two goals and one assist while Allyson Shicora made 13 saves.

 Meeting Ursinus for the fifth time in as many CC postseasons, the Bullets built a 7-2 lead and eased into their fifth straight championship game.

 Ashley Ettinger put the Bears ahead 1-0 at 7:16, but Gettysburg rattled off seven of the next eight goals.

 Jenn Kelly (Westbury, NY/Carle Place) started the burst with an unassisted tally at 10:24 and Delauney opened her four-goal day with an unassisted marker at 12:44, putting the Bullets ahead to stay. Delauney struck again at 16:34, before setting up Shihadeh for a three-goal advantage.

  Delauney netted her third goal of the day on another solo move, giving Gettysburg a 5-1 lead at halftime.

 Andre found the net three minutes into the second half to snap Ursinus’ 25-minute, 44-second scoring drought, but goals from Zappacosta and Katie Lowe (Setauket, NY/Ward Melville) pushed the Bullet lead to 7-2 with 22:53 remaining.

 Kaitlin Glenn touched off a 4-2 Bear run that cut the deficit to 9-6 with 8:34 left, but Gettysburg controlled the ball for a majority of the next five minutes before Shihadeh and Zappacosta sealed the win with goals in the final 3:44.

 Alexandra Ewing (Monkton, MD/Garrison Forest) also scored in the win while Kate Murphy (Wilton, CT/Wilton) led the Bullets with four caused turnovers. Katie Ceglarski (Darien, CT/Darien) paced Gettysburg with seven shots and four draw controls.

 Heather Kelley (Berwyn, PA/Conestoga) finished with five saves for the Bullets, who are seeking their fourth consecutive CC championship and fifth in the last six years.
