THE SKINNY STORY
Gettysburg outscored Ursinus in every quarter but one to forge a 14-9 win in the Centennial Conference opener for both teams.
THE LEADERS
•
Jack Dunleavy (New Providence, N.J./Seton Hall Prep) tallied a career-high eight points on four goals and four assists.
•
Patrick Maroney (Hingham, Mass./Boston College H.S.) contributed three goals.
FOR THE FOES
• Drake Kasoff scored two goals for the Bears to go with two ground balls.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• Ursinus found the opening goal just 2:12 into the contest off a Lars Homan assist and Harry Sweitzer finish. Gettysburg responded with two tallies within 48 seconds, the first coming from
Stokes Myers (Nashville, Tenn./Montgomery Bell Academy) and the second by
Quinton Mather (Avon, Conn./Avon Old Farms). Two back-to-back goals by Dunleavy stretched the Bullets' run to four straight. Homan got a solo tally on the Bears' second goal of the game, and Nils Updale won the faceoff and dished to Kasoff for a goal just six seconds later. A
Jackson Hearn (Houston, Texas/Episcopal Bellaire) goal from a Dunleavy feed made it 5-3 after one.
• Gettysburg stretched the advantage to 7-3 just 3:51 into the second quarter, getting goals from Maroney and a
Ryan Cernuto (Martinsville, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) one-handed ripper. Both goals were assisted by Dunleavy. Christopher Pucciarelli and Mather traded tallies before another Dunleavy goal with just under five minutes left in the first half made it a 9-4 Bullets lead going into the break.
• Ursinus put together a 3-0 run to start the third quarter, scoring three goals in an 8 minute, 10 second span to close within 9-7. A buzzer-beater by Maroney gave the Bullets a three-goal lead with 15 minutes of play left.
• Jonathan Singer and Maroney traded goals to maintain the three-goal differential, before an
Ethan Kessler (Ridgefield, Conn./Millbrook School) solo goal with 8:57 and a
Stokes Myers (Nashville, Tenn./Montgomery Bell Academy) tally just 49 seconds later made it a 13-8 advantage for Gettysburg. Ursinus' final goal came from Kasoff, while Kessler dished to Dunleavy for the Bullets' final score with 2:38 left.

• Gettysburg took 41 shots while Ursinus had just 26.
•
Chase Morgan (Canandaigua, N.Y./Canandaigua) made nine saves in goal.
