Margaret-Ann Graves scored what proved to be the game-winning goal with just 2:30 gone by in the first quarter to give Gettysburg (9-5, 3-4 CC) the early lead.
The Green Terror allowed just five shots in the first quarter and did not surrender a penalty corner as the Bullets led 1-0 after one.
Allie McCaffrey scored the first of her three goals only 1:45 into the second before Sloane Witkowski added a second with just 26 seconds remaining. Senior
Lora Scarangello made five of her eight saves in the second quarter as Gettysburg took nine shots with seven on goal en route to a 3-0 halftime lead.
McCaffrey added two third-quarter goals exactly two minutes apart to provide the final margin.
