HOW IT HAPPENED

Gannon held a 4-3 lead, before the Lady Knights scored the final three goals of the first half. Junior Tessa Mitchell (Rochester, N.Y./Rush-Henrietta), sophomore Leilani King (St. Albans, Vt./Bellows Free Academy) and freshman Micaela Capozzo (Medford, Mass./Pinkerton Academy) tallied goals to give the home squad a 6-3 halftime advantage.

Gannon countered the four consecutive goals to ice the victory. Mitchell netted the first two, before sophomore Kierstyn Haight (Oshawa, Ontario/Maxwell Heights) and junior Ashley Mozingo (Fallston, Md./Fallston) followed with scores.
