How It Happened…

• First Half: After having a pair of shots on goal early on in the opening half, Gettysburg broke through in the 39th minute. Fife headed the ball off the corner kick that bounced off the top post and to the feet of Diallo, who slammed it into the back of the net for his third tally of the season. The Bullets defense went to work, as they did not allow a Green Terror shot in the opening half to lead 1-0 at intermission.
• Second Half: Gettysburg held the slim 8-7 edge in shots in the second half, with sophomore Lucas DiGiacomo (Madison, N.J./Madison) and sophomore Fritz Reiter (Sewickley, Pa/Quaker Valley) both taking shots on goal in the final five minutes. Jonathan Mangione turned aside both attempts to halt any additional scoring for Gettysburg. Muhic stopped a pair of Green Terror attempts on goal at the 76th and 80th minute to keep it a clean sheet and give the Bullets its ninth victory of the season.
