Josue De Leon Sabala (Santo Domingo, Distrito Nacional, Dominican Republic/The Kiski School [Pa.]) sent a ball towards the goal from the right side of the field.

• Misericordia carried play for the better part of the second half but the Gettysburg backline held the Cougars to just four shots after halftime and off the board. A trip in the box was called in the 86th minute and
