How it Happened
First Half:

• Gettysburg wasted no time getting on the scoreboard as Bedell carried the ball down to the left wing, turned at the endline and chipped a pass to Slevin who one touched into the nearside left post five minutes into the game.
• In the 28th minute, Priddy played a short corner kick from the left corner to the top of the box. Gaudian collected the ball from about 25 yards out and hit a rocket into the upper right 90 for the goal, her first of the season.
• Nine minutes later, the Spartans cut the lead in half as Georgia Gillcrist dished the pass to Rachel Wilhelm for the tally.

Second Half:

• The Bullets notched two more goals in the final half as the first came with 61:09 on the clock. Muskus intercepted and slid a pass to the middle of the field as Bedell ran to the ball and finished in the middle of the box inside the right post.
• With 16 minutes to go, the Orange and Blue registered their final goal as Cenatiempo carried the ball to the endline and centered it to O'Shea for an easy finish.
• The defense played outstanding as the Spartans only had four shot opportunities in the final stanza and only two in the last 21 minutes.
