GAMEDAY MEDIA CENTER
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The first half was played on relatively even terms with Gannon holding a 6-3 edge in shots.
  • Bloomsburg goalkeeper Jenna Hawkins made her only two saves of the first half during the opening 15 minutes.
  • Gannon goalkeeper Danitza Indacochea (Vaughan, Ontario/St. Joan of Arc) needed to make only one save to keep the Huskies off the scoreboard, recording that stop in the 25th minute.
  • Bloomsburg's Sam Rodkey also hit the post in the 31st minute.
  • The two teams put a little more pressure on the goalkeepers during the second half, taking 13 combined shots during the second 45 minutes.
  • Gannon managed four shots during the first 30 minutes of the second half, but was unable to put any on goal.
  • In the 72nd minute, Indacochea was injured racing for the ball near the top of the box. Freshman Hannah Pufpaff (Cheektowaga, N.Y./Saint Mary's of Lancaster) was then call off the bench to man the net for the remainder of the contest. She immediately made a save 48 seconds later to preserve the shutout.
  • Gannon took the last shot of regulation in the 86th minute, before the two teams needed extra time.
  • The Lady Knights dominated the overtime, starting with a 5-0 edge in shots during the first session. Hawkins was forced to make a save on four of those five attempts and pushed the contest into a second overtime period.
  • Gannon pressured the entire 10 minutes, but managed only two shots. Both were turned away by Hawkins who made six saves during the two overtime sessions before the two programs settled for a double-overtime, scoreless tie.

GAME NOTES
  • Saturday's contest was played in perfect weather conditions. Sunny skies with temperatures in the 70's greeted the two teams.
