HOW IT HAPPENED

Freshman Leilani King (St. Albans, Vt./Bellows Free Academy) scored the first two goals, including the contest's opening tally 47 seconds after the opening draw control.
It was the start of nine consecutive goals during the opening 21 minutes. Seven different Lady Knights scored during the run and four different Gannon players recorded an assist.
Sophomore Tessa Mitchell (Rochester, N.Y./Rush-Henrietta) joined King with two goals during the opening 9-0 run. Her second tally capped the run with 9:46 left in the first half.
After seven minutes and 48 seconds of scoreless action, Lake Erie finally got on the board with 1:58 left in the first half. The goal cut the deficit to 9-1 at the intermission.
Lake Erie netted the opening goal of the second half, before Gannon produced a running clock with three straight scores. Again, it was a balanced attack with three different goal scorers. Junior Becky Hilker's (Bowmanville, Ontario/Clarington Central SS) second goal of the match gave the Lady Knights a 12-2 edge 5:01 into the second half.
Another mini 3-0 run later pushed the Gannon lead to 15-3 with 17:47 to play. Freshman Kierstyn Haight (Oshawa, Ontario/Maxwell Heights) produced two of the three goals.
Gannon held a 17-4 lead, before Lake Erie tallied three of the contest's four goals during the final two minutes and 42 seconds. The late flurry accounted for the final 18-7 Lady Knight victory.
