How it Happened
Holy Family dominated the game both on the offensive end as well as the defensive side of the ball.  The Tigers launched 32 shots in the game, including 19 in the first half alone.  The defense limited Post to just four shots all game, two in each half.

The scored remained 1-0 heading into halftime and within the first few minutes of the second half the Tigers' doubled their lead.  Junior Taylor Walker (Williamstown, N.J./Williamstown) took a header shot off a corner kick attempt from freshman Casey Rodgers (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) to score her first collegiate goal in the 47th minute.  Later in the half the Tigers struck again this time it was junior Shannon Metzler (Erial, N.J./St. Josephs (Hammonton)) who found the back of the net after firing a shot from 25-yards out for her second goal of the season in the 66th minute.
 
The Tigers tacked on one more goal in the 85th minute when senior Ashley Shackleford (Burlington, N.J./Holy Cross HS) received a cross pass from freshman Melissa Szelagowski (Philadelphia, Pa./Little Flower).  Shackleford converted her shot for her fourth goal of the season.
 
Senior goalkeeper Sienna Smith (Pottsville, Pa./Pottsville Regional) recorded two saves in net while picking up her second shutout of the season and the 16th of her career.  Post goalkeeper Cailah Baranowski finished the game with 16 saves in net.
