• Amanda Sponaugle (Milton, Del./Cape Henlopen) connected on a penalty stroke in the 37th minute to lead the Green Terror.
• Morgan Collins (Mt Airy, Md./South Carroll) was key to a solid defensive effort with two defensive saves.

FOR THE FOES

• Sierra Bobb redirected a Morgan Yandow-Harding hit off a penalty corner to tie the game in the first 34 seconds of the fourth quarter.
• The McDaniel defense withstood a flurry of Red Devil shots in the two 10-minute extra sessions, forcing the game to a shootout.
