How It Happened…

• First Half:  In a competitive match from start to finish, the Blue Jays looked like they were going to hold an early lead, but senior defender Tatum Lareau (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Ludlowe) made a fantastic save inside the cage to keep Johns Hopkins off the scoreboard. Shortly after that, the Blue Jays did strike as Maheras headed the ball in off a corner kick from Damron with 19:20 on the clock. Muskus scored the equalizer off a rebound from the goalkeeper with under nine minutes to play in the half. The Bullets looked promising to take the lead with under five minutes remaining as freshman Lena Schaefer (Atlanta, Ga./Lakeside) had a great look at the cage, but Hendricks made the stop.
• Second Half: The Bullets defensive unit made another outstanding stop as junior Julia Myers (Strasburg, Pa./Lampeter-Strasburg) was there to block the shot from heading into the back of the net just six minutes into the half. Reigning Centennial Conference Rookie of the Year Jackson netted the second goal for Johns Hopkins to give her team the 2-1 lead. Gettysburg answered right back less than 1:30 later as Cenatiempo passed to Klatt, who went one-on-one with the goalkeeper to sneak the ball into the back of the night. Cenatiempo took a header that looked like it was about to go into the left side of the net with 11 seconds left in regulation, but it sailed wide left.
• Overtime: After ending regulation tied at two-all, Bedell sent a long ball to Cenatiempo who fended off a Blue Jays defender to notch the game-winner in the 97th minute.
