THE SKINNY STORY
Gettysburg got out to a 10-1 lead after one quarter, before the game was delayed due to storms in the area. After a long break, the Bullets continued to fire away, earning the 20-5 win over Ursinus on senior day.
THE LEADERS
•
Julie Breedveld (Wayne, Pa./Radnor) was one of five Bullets with a hat trick. She also picked up one ground ball and caused one turnover.
•
Kelly O'Connor (Livingston, N.J./Livingston) tallied one goal and two assists.
• Senior
Katie Fullowan (Lebanon, N.J./North Hunterdon) also had a hat trick, to go with one assist, three draw controls, and three ground balls.
FOR THE FOES
• Gabrielle Liott scored two goals for the Bears.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• Gettysburg went on a tear in the first 2:42, winning the first four draw controls and immediately scoring on each to lead 4-0.
Emily Crane (Upper Montclair, N.J./Montclair),
Katie Fullowan,
Jordan Basso (Rye, N.Y./Rye), and
Kelly O'Connor all netted a goal for the Bullets in the stretch, forcing an Ursinus timeout. Out of the break, Ursinus won their first draw control, but turned the ball over.
Caroline Sullivan (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield-Ludlowe) scored two within less than four minutes to make it a 6-0 game, and tallies by
Essie Pasternak (Short Hills, N.J./Blair Academy) and Basso stretched the lead to eight. Ursinus got on the board with a tally by Emma Wood to break up the shutout, but Gettysburg countered less than 30 seconds later with two goals by Fullowan to end the period. Following the end of the first quarter, lightning in the area caused a 135-minute delay of game.
• Once the weather finally cleared the area, the teams got back to action and
Julia Daly (McLean, Va./McLean) netted a goal within the first two minutes to clear the goal differential. With the clock running, Ursinus scored their second of the game with 8:41 left in the half. Gettysburg would be held to only two more goals on the half, one on a Sullivan free position attempt and one by
Julie Breedveld.
• Crane opened up the third quarter with an unassisted tally less than two minutes in for a 14-2 Gettysburg lead. Ursinus tried a shot, but goalie
Gillian Cortese (Mount Laurel, N.J./Lenape) was there to stop it. With 8:22 showing, a Crane free position shot was saved by Ursinus goalie Camile Hubbs, but Crane got the putback for her third of the game. The Bears netted their third of the game, an unassisted tally by Gabrielle Liott, with 5:46 left to play in the third. Just over two minutes later,
Dillon Troy (Mamaroneck, N.Y./Mamaroneck) dished to Breedveld for her second of the day. Basso rounded out the period with an unassisted tally with only four seconds left to play, yielding a 17-3 score going into the final quarter.
• Back-to-back goals by Troy and
Sophie Showers (Larchmont, N.Y./Mamaroneck) staked the Bullets to a 19-3 lead, and Breedveld made it 20 goals for the Bullets with a
Nina Marra (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) assisted tally with 11:28 left in the game. The Bullets attempted a few more shots in the period but could not find the back of the net, and Mary Michaud and Liott had a goal each in the final four minutes for a 20-5 final.
