THE SKINNY STORY
Gettysburg outscored Washington 10-0 in the opening quarter, including six goals in a five-minute span, en route to a 19-7 win over the Shorewomen.
THE LEADERS
•
Emily Crane (Upper Montclair, N.J./Montclair) tied her career-best goal total with five on the day.
FOR THE FOES
• The Shorewomen's seven goals were scored by seven different players, with Abby Laubach getting the assist on two of them.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• An early free position attempt for
Julie Breedveld (Wayne, Pa./Radnor) turned into a goal, and the Bullets made it a 2-0 lead just 14 seconds later after
Julia Daly (McLean, Va./McLean) fed to
Maddie Passarello (West Chester, Pa./Unionville). Two tallies from Crane within a few minutes of each other made it 4-0. A
Sophie Smith (Great Falls, Va./Langley) man-up tally was the first of six goals that were scored in the final 4:41 of the first quarter. Daly followed Smith a goal just 36 seconds later, finishing a pass from
Jordan Basso (Rye, N.Y./Rye), and the duo connected again just over 90 seconds later after a Crane unassisted tally. Within the final 1:10 of the period,
Caroline Sullivan (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Ludlowe) put back a ricocheted shot and Crane added her fourth of the period in the last eight seconds for a 10-0 Gettysburg lead after one.
• The Shorewomen cracked the score board almost four minutes into the second quarter after Laubach got the ball to Tobin Chambers. Gettysburg responded with a Crane free position goal, and
Meghan Crane (Montclair, N.J./Montclair) followed her sister's goal with a tally of her own for a 12-1 lead. Basso and Mia Salvatierra traded goals before
Nina Marra (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) scored her second of the season in the final 90 seconds as the Bullets led 14-2 at half.
• Smith scored her second of the day to open the third period, but Ashley Devlin got the Shorewomen their first goal of the second half. Basso got a pass to
Lauren O'Connell (Winchester, Mass./Winchester) who finished for a 17-3 lead, and Daly and Piper Evans each scored one to make the margin 17-4 going into the final 15 minutes.
•
Ella Patterson (New Canaan, Conn./New Canaan) put up an unassisted tally to start the final quarter and then got the helper on
Caroline Ragan's (Dallas, Texas/The Episcopal School of Dallas) first career goal. Washington finished the game on a 3-0 run but wouldn't get closer than 19-7.
THE INSIDE STORY
• Gettysburg outshot Washington 50-15.
• Twelve Bullets registered at least one point on the day. Basso and Daly each tallied four with one goal and three assists, and three goals and one assist, respectively. Sullivan, Smith, and Patterson all finished with two points.
•
Gillian Cortese (Mount Laurel, N.J./Lenape),
Juliette deVarenne (Chatham, N.J./Chatham), and
