How It Happened…
  • First Half: Muskus kicked off the scoring with a goal for the second consecutive match. Priddy took the corner from the left side and laced a liner to the middle of the box. Muskus leaped in with her right foot and knocked it off the underside of the cross bar and into the cage 11:59 into the match. With the defense keeping Ursinus out of scoring contention, the offense went back to work three minutes later. O'Shea swiped the ball in the backfield and dished it off to Muskus before breaking to the goal. Muskus found her classmate who tapped it over the keeper for a 2-0 lead in the 16th minute. Doherty kept the two-goal deficit with a pair saves in the first half for Ursinus.
  • Second Half: Gettysburg didn't waste time making it a three-goal lead in the final half playing the ball all the way from its own goal. A pass out of the midfield by freshman Claudia Mischler (Allendale, N.J./Northern Highlands Regional) found its way to Lareau streaking up the right side of the field. The senior captain crossed in front to Muskus who finished off the play for her second two-goal match of the season. The Bears found no give to the Gettysburg defense in the final period, going without a shot or penalty corner.
 
By the Numbers
  • Gettysburg out-shot Ursinus 12-0. It was the first time the Bullets held an opponent without a shot since a 3-0 win over Franklin & Marshall in 2015.
 
Winning Streak
Gettysburg's win streak is its best since opening the 1993 season with 14-straight wins. The 1993 team finished 16-2 and won the inaugural Centennial Conference championship.
 
Where the Series Stands Now
Gettysburg improved its series lead over Ursinus to 18-6-3. The Bullets have won the last four contests against the Bears, marking its longest win streak in the series since winning five in a row from 2001 to 2004.
