THE SKINNY STORY
Gettysburg controlled play for much of the middle 50 minutes of the game but had to settle for a 1-all draw with Goucher to open the season.
THE LEADERS
•
Morgan Hobson (Rumson, N.J./Rumson-Fair Haven Regional) led the Bullets with her first collegiate goal.
FOR THE FOES
• Carly Stevens netted the equalizer for the Gophers.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• Gettysburg had the best opportunity in the first half, coming in the 42nd minute. In a scramble off a corner,
Hannah Kernis (Wall, N.J./Wall Twp.) got a foot on the ball but it was cleared off the line by a defender.
Elise Fox's (Westfield, N.J./Westfield) rebound attempt was tipped up and over by goalie Marissa Spacht.
• In the 64th minute,
Morgan Hobson played around her defender at the top of the box to the right wing, where she fired a ball that was curving towards the upper-corner inside the far post. A Gopher defender got her head on it but ultimately redirected it into the nearside upper-corner.
• Nearly 12 minutes later, Carly Stevens took a free kick just outside the box and placed it perfectly just inside the left post to bring the visitors level.
THE INSIDE STORY
• Gettysburg finished with a 19-3 advantage in shots, including peppering the goal with 13 shots in the second half. The Bullets also had a 6-3 edge in corner kicks.
• Marissa Spacht made eight saves in goal for Goucher.
