THE SKINNY STORY

THE LEADERS
•
Jillian Somers (Virginia Beach, Va./Cape Henry Collegiate) scored the game-winner for the Bullets with just 2:24 remaining in the second extra session.
FOR THE FOES
• Madison Lasinski scored the lone goal for the Cougars.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• After a scoreless first half,
Colleen Ragan (Manasquan, N.J./St. Rose) blasted home a pass from
Elise Krock (Narvon, Pa./Garden Spot) from the left wing directly off a penalty corner just 2:05 into the third quarter. Just over two-and-a-half minutes later, Ashleigh Steele played a ball up from the near post to Madison Lasinski, who finished from in front of the cage to tie the game.
• Gettysburg had a flurry of opportunities in the fourth quarter but could not find the go-ahead tally. Both teams had quality looks in the overtimes but it was a pass across the front of the goal mouth from
Olivia Conte (New Hope, Pa./New Hope-Solebury) that
Jillian Somers was able to tap in behind the keeper for the victory.

• Gettysburg finished with a 15-8 advantage in shots and 18-6 advantage in penalty corners.
