How It Happened
- Wilson wasted little time getting momentum on its side as the Phoenix scored just 31 seconds into the game. The Gators actually won the opening draw, but Alaina Marek (Jr., Bealeton, Va. / Liberty) was able to force a turnover, get the ground ball, and dished it to Henneman before she weaved her way around the home defense to score. Henneman went on to score again two minutes later. Following goals by Ellisa Gamby-Mickey (Jr., Chambersburg, Pa. / Chambersburg) and Paige Ney (Sr., Biglerville, Pa. / Biglerville), Henneman added her hat trick score on a free-position late in the first.
- Sadie Fike (Jr., McClure, Pa. / Mifflin County) found the back of the net with a helper from Markeat the start of the second to make it 6-0 in favor of the Phoenix. Fike added another despite Wilson playing down a woman with 7:50 left in the half. Wilson put the afterburners on down the stretch as Henneman, Finley Vandevander (So., Chambersburg, Pa. / Chambersburg), and Fike all scored within 90 seconds of each other to put Wilson up 10-0 at the break.
- The second half featured more of the Wilson offense with Riley Lemay (Jr., Saugerties, N.Y. / Saugerties) and Vandevander getting goals in the third. Henneman scored her fifth and final time early in the fourth and Grace Dickinson (Jr., Mt. Joy, Pa. / Donegal) capped the Wilson scoring on a dish from Gamby-Mickey. The Gators avoided the shutout as Madison Miller scored with 3:09 to go in regulation.
