How We Got Here
In a high scoring affair that featured 29 goals between the two teams, a second half surge turned out to be the difference.  Trailing 11-9 early in the second half, Holy Family scored a pair of goals thanks to Pagliei and senior Erin Harmer (Philadelphia, Pa./Nazareth Academy) to tie the game. 
 
However, Bloomsburg responded with five unanswered goals in a four-minute span to take the game's biggest lead at 16-11 with 11:10 to play in the half.  The Huskies held Holy Family scoreless for over 10 minutes until Pagliei tacked on a goal with 6:23 left on the clock, the team's first score since Harmer connected with a goal at the 17:12 mark.
 
The Huskies capped the scoring with a little over five minutes to play when sophomore Taylor Turner tallied her fifth goal of the game to make the score 17-12.
