HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Gannon wasted no time following kickoff scoring the first goal of the match just 31 seconds in. McCullough scored for the Knights giving them a quick 1-0 lead over an undefeated Edinboro.
  • The Fighting Scots fired back about four minutes later with a goal from Brittany Hurey at the 5:24 mark. She was assisted by Brittnie Spithaler. Hurey's goal would come off a missed header by Spithaler.
  • Spithaler would assist again for Edinboro in the 40th minute. She passed the ball to Leah Czechowski who scored into the corner of the net for the Scots to give them a 2-1 lead just before halftime.
  • Hays would even things out 2-2 in the final minute of the half. Hays shot from 15-yards out would hit off the post and into the net for Gannon. Both teams would remain scoreless for the final 65 minutes of play to both earn their first draw of the season.
