THE LEADERS
• Basso's 310th career point came on an assist to
Meghan Crane (Montclair, N.J./Montclair) in the fourth quarter. With the tally, she surpassed Julika Blankenship's record of 309 points set in 2004. Basso finished the day with six points on two goals and four assists. She also grabbed four ground balls and caused two turnovers.

THE REST OF THE STORY
• Stevens struck first in the opening six minutes of play, capitalizing on a player-up opportunity. Just 90 seconds later, Gettysburg had a player advantage and Basso scored her first of the day to tie the score. In the final 2:25,
Emily Crane (Upper Montclair, N.J./Montclair) and Maddie Hogan traded goals for a 2-all deadlock after the first 15 minutes.
• The Gettysburg defense worked in lockstep to shut Stevens down for the next three quarters, limiting the Ducks to just three shots in the second stanza.
Julie Breedveld (Wayne, Pa./Radnor) scored another advantage goal just 55 seconds into the quarter, and with 8:40 showing, a streaking Macatee cleared the ball and fed a pass to Daly who connected for the Bullets' fourth goal and Macatee's first career point. A failed clear by Stevens allowed Basso to pick up the ground ball, and she dished to
Caroline Sullivan (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Ludlowe) to make the score 5-2. In the final 24 seconds of the second quarter, Daly was awarded a free position attempt and scored to set the 6-2 margin at halftime.
• Gettysburg scored three goals in less than three minutes at the start of the second half.
Sophie Smith (Great Falls, Va./Langley) got things rolling, grabbing a Basso pass to finish for the 7-2 lead. Goals by Daly and Basso, each assisted by Sullivan, made it a seven-goal game after the third quarter. The defense limited the Ducks to just three shots and caused two turnovers in the third stanza.
• Just 53 seconds into the final quarter of play, Daly scored off a pass from Breedveld for Daly's 100th career goal. Breedveld then got another goal from Basso for the senior's record-tying 309th point. With 6:43 showing, Basso scored her 310th point with an assist to
Meghan Crane to move into first place all-time. The defense shut down Stevens the rest of the way, causing two turnovers in the final 5:09 and not allowing a shot from the Ducks for a 12-2 final.
