• Third Quarter: Washington survived a persistent Gettysburg attack in the third quarter and managed to tie the game. The Bullets led in shots (10-1) and penalty corners (7-1), but the Shorewomen tied the game following a corner as Steele dropped it off to Willey for the score in the 35th minute.
• Fourth Quarter: Caputo posted her only save in the game on a shot by Kailyn Brandt in the 50th minute. Despite four shots on goal by the Bullets, the game went to overtime as Zapcic totaled four saves.
• Overtime: Gettysburg dominated the extra session with three quick shots on goal in the first 3:29. After earning the third penalty corner of the frame, the Bullets ended the game as Soares fed the pass to Bertrando for the goal.
