GAMEDAY MEDIA CENTER
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Gannon struck early, scoring the first goal 6:27 into the contest. Redshirt senior Michelle Genetin (Navarre, Ohio/Perry) took a long pass from senior Sammy Valloud (Erie, Pa./McDowell) and chipped it over the goalkeeper's head for a 1-0 lead.
  • Despite out-shooting Lock Haven 7-0 during the opening 45 minutes, the Lady Knights maintained only a 1-0 lead at halftime.
  • Lock Haven needed only one shot to tie the match. Haylea Meyers split a pair of defenders and beat the goalkeeper to the far post 7:05 into the second half. The score came on the Bald Eagles' first shot of the afternoon.
  • Putnam then tallied what proved to be the game-winner in the 70th minute. The freshman headed a crossing pass from senior Mani Brueckner (Valencia, Pa./Mars Area) inside the near post for her first career goal and a 2-1 lead.
  • Genetin later added an insurance goal with 52 seconds remaining, beating the goalkeeper to the far post off another assist from Breuckner.
