How It Happened
 
* Holy Family struck first in this one as redshirt junior Stefanie Ulmer (Philadelphia, Pa./Delaware Valley HS Center City) connected on her third goal of the season after receiving a quick pass from junior Brianna Rock (Bensalem, Pa./Bensalem) in the ninth minute.  Senior Taylor Adair (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) set the play up with a quick touch pass to Rock.
 
* The Tigers' lead would be short lived as the Spartans tied the game at 1-1 in the 14th minute.  Natalie Albero set the goal up with a long pass from 30-yards out and found Sarah Colotti for her first goal of the season.
 
* The Spartans grabbed the lead with just over two seconds left in the first half.  Off a free kick, the Spartans managed to sneak a shot by the Tigers to take a 2-1 lead into halftime. Mekenzi Moreau scored her fourth goal of the season.
 
* Holy Family put the pressure on in the second half and it paid off.  The Tigers tied the game in the 59th minute when freshman Hannah Derby (Pitman, N.J./Pitman) took a shot from the right side of the field and found the lower left portion of the net for her third goal of the season.
 
* The Tigers took possession of the game in the 75th minute thanks to freshman Audrey Esposito (Haddon Township, N.J./Camden Catholic) who found the back of the net after taking a shot from about 20-yards out for her first collegiate goal.
 
* The Spartans had a chance to tie the game in the final few seconds after setting up a corner kick attempt with :15 seconds remaining.  However, they were unable to get a solid shot off before time expired.
