How It Happened
 
* Georgian Court scored two first half goals to grab the momentum.  The Lions received goals from Heather Arbachesky, her seventh of the season, in the 16th minute and a goal by Kaitlin Lister in the 34th minute for her sixth score of the year.
 
* Trailing 2-0 to start the second half, the Tigers came out of halftime full force.  Holy Family nearly knocked in its first goal of the game in the 46th minute but a shot by freshman Cailey Plath (Philadelphia, Pa./Little Flower) hit off the cross bar.  Five minutes later another shot by Plath hit off the post but freshman Alexa Teschko (Clayton, N.J./Clayton) was there to gather the loose ball but unfortunately her shot was stopped by goalkeeper Natalie Axelsson.
 
* In the 53rd the minute the Tigers persistence paid off as Teschko scored her third goal of the season.  Junior Brianna Rock (Bensalem, Pa./Bensalem) set up Teschko with a pass from the leftside as Teschko was able to connect on a shot towards the lower right of the net. 
 
* Holy Family had a chance to tie the game in the 79th minute but a dead-on shot by senior Stefanie Ulmer (Philadelphia, Pa./Delaware Valley HS Center City) was saved by Axelsson for her fourth and final save of the day.
 
* Freshman goalkeeper Emily Camp (Pittsgrove, N.J./Arthur P. Schalick) kept the Tigers in the game as she made eight saves in net after facing 16 shots by the Lions.  Camp finishes the regular season with 91 saves.
