Erika Muskus '22 (Scotch Plains, N.J./Scotch Plains Fanwood) – One Goal
Emma Bedell '22(Chatham, N.J./Mount Saint Mary) – One Goal

How it Happened
First Half: The Bullets had great feeds down in the Eagles territory, but were unable to connect until freshmen Grace Slevin (Virginia Beach, Va./Frank W. Cox) tipped the ball to Cenatiempo who blazed past the defenders to score on the right side of the frame at the 32:11 marker. Gettysburg held the slight 4-3 shot attempts in the first half.
Second Half: The Bullets played as a unit as great offense and defense was evident throughout the half. Most of the action occurred down in Mary Washington's side and the Orange and Blue took advantage of it. Sophomore Molly O'Shea (Reading, Pa./Wilson) set up Muskus as she made a move and snuck past the goalkeeper for the tally. The final goal of the night came off a plenty kick from Bedell, registering her second career with under 18 minutes to go. Sophomore Maddie Cunningham (Mount Airy, Md./Linganore) played all 90 minutes with three stops.

All-Time Series
Gettysburg holds a 8-3-1 lead over the Eagles in a series that started in 1988. The last time Gettysburg faced Mary Washington was back in 2009 in Fredericksburg, Va. where the Bullets took the 1-0 victory. The Orange and Blue have now won eight consecutive matches against the Eagles.
