Box Score

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Gettysburg's women's soccer team is headed back to the postseason for the first time in three years thanks to a 3-0 victory over visiting Muhlenberg College at Clark Field Saturday afternoon.

Gettysburg (12-6, 7-3 CC) secured the fourth seed in the Centennial Conference Tournament and will host Ursinus College (10-6, 6-4 CC) in the opening round on Wednesday, Nov. 3, at a time to be determined on Monday. The Orange and Blue last played in the postseason in 2007 when it defeated Haverford College 1-0 in the opening round before falling to eventual champion Johns Hopkins University 2-0 in the semifinals.

The Bullets tested Muhlenberg (7-8-2, 6-4 CC) goalkeeper Michele Toher early with a pair of shots on goal in the first 20 minutes. Toher was up to task with stops on both. Gettysburg junior goalie Allie Rivera (Wading River, N.Y./Shoreham Wading River) kept pace with the Mule keeper, making three of her four saves in the opening period.

Gettysburg struck just before the conclusion of the first stanza as freshman Tara Crowley (Wall, N.J./Wall) worked a nice give-and-go with senior Jordann Smak (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Mechanicsburg) just outside the box, with the senior ending the play with a shot over Toher's hands into the goal at 41:46. Smak became the 16th different Bullet to score a goal this fall, breaking the old school record set in 1998 and tied in 2000.

The hosts dominated play in the in the final stanza with several shots on goal, including a corner kick by sophomore Suzy Englot (Fayetteville, N.Y./Manlius Pebble Hill) that was prevented from going into the cage by a Mule defender guarding the far post. Gettysburg's second score followed another corner by Englot as sophomore Mackenzie Cobb (Ramsey, N.J./Ramsey) booted in a loose ball in front of the net at 67:39.

After just missing a goal earlier in the contest, Englot capped the match with another corner kick and this time no one could stop the ball as it settled into the far left corner of the goal with 1:58 left to play in the contest.

Gettysburg finished with a 19-9 edge in shots and an 8-3 edge in corner kicks.

Cobb, Englot, sophomores Casey Attanasio (Newtown, Pa./Council Rock North), and Lindsey Lyons (Hatfield, Pa./Pennridge), and freshman Rachel West (Carlisle, Pa./Carlisle), all ended up with three shots for the home team.
