and dished out her assist on the final goal of the first half on
her deflected shot from outside the scoring area by fellow freshman
forward Erica Reichart (Littlestown, Pa./Gettysburg

Reichart also registered two goals in the
contest. Her second came unassisted when the Elmira (1-14)
goalkeeper left the goal to challenge a pass and left
Reichart with a wide open net.

into the contest by senior midfielder Rebecca Entwistle
(Wall Twp.,. N.J./Wall). Senior back Julia
Amendola (Mountain Top, Pa./Bishop Hoban) picked up her
first of two assists on that goal.
