THE SKINNY STORY

Tommy Myers responded just over a minute later to notch the final goal of the game for a 2-1 Gettysburg win.
THE LEADERS
•
Noah Holgado (Middletown, Del./Salesianum School) scored his first collegiate goal in the fourth minute.
•
Tommy Myers (Rockville, Md./Good Counsel) tallied his first career goal in the 59th minute of play.
•

FOR THE FOES
• Russ Domm scored SUNY Brockport's only goal of the evening 58 minutes in.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• The Bullets struck early in the first half as an
Athi Msiza pass got to
Noah Holgado who buried a long shot into the right corner of the goal for his first tally of the season. Each team had one on-target shot that the goalkeepers saved to keep Holgado's tally as the only one in the first half.
• SUNY Brockport broke up the shutout in the 58th minute after Russ Domm launched a shot that just escaped goalie
Kevin Muhic's (Moorestown, N.J/Moorestown) hand and curled under the crossbar, evening the score.
• However, Gettysburg responded just over a minute later as
Athi Msiza fed a pass to a racing
Tommy Myers, who buried it in the back of the net to retake the lead. SUNY Brockport attempted three more shots in the remainder of the final half, but none were on target, while
Chase Sempervive (New Egypt, N.J./New Egypt) had the best look for the Bullets, but it was saved.
THE INSIDE STORY
