How it Happened
First Half: The Bullets didn't waste any time putting their mark on the scoring column. Merz passed the ball to Muskus in the top of the box and drilled the shot into the top center to notch her eighth goal of the season six minutes into the match. The Orange and Blue took its final shot on goal in the 33rd minute when O'Shea was called to take the penalty kick, but Marykate Stack made her seventh save of the half to keep it 1-0 at intermission. Gettysburg finished the half-outshooting Catholic 12-5.    
Second Half: Gettysburg fired away two shots shots in the first 29 seconds of the second half as Marykate Stack turned aside both, but the Bullets broke through seconds later. O'Shea rocketed a shot outside the top of the box and over the goalkeeper's head to collect her second goal of the season to make it a 2-0 advantage. After having a shot go wide and stopped by Stack, Bedell's perseverance paid off as she drilled her third-straight attempt into the back of the net eight minutes later to extend the lead 3-0. Gettysburg's defensive unit was unstoppable as they limited Catholic to two shots in the half to close out its final non-conference regular-season game with a victory.
