How It Happened
 
* With the game tied 2-2 in the 60th minute, Rock converted a penalty kick attempt for the Tigers after a Caldwell foul inside the box. The goal marked her 50th of her career as well as her 17th of the season setting a new career-high.
 
* Prior to Rock's goal the Tigers tied the game at 2-2 thanks to freshman Jacqueline Ziegler (Feasterville, Pa./Neshaminy) coming through with her sixth goal of the season.  Ziegler received a long pass from sophomore Lena Staropoli (Perkasie, Pa./Lansdale Catholic) who was credited with the assist.
 
* Sophomore Hannah Derby (Pitman, N.J./Pitman) scored the game's first goal in the 22nd minute with a header shot off a corner kick attempt by senior Alyssa Christiansen (Warminster, Pa./William Tennent).  It marked her third goal of the season.
 
* Caldwell tied the game in the 34th minute when Meghan Grundhauser scored the team's first goal of the game.  The Cougars grabbed the lead in the 50th minute with a goal from Jordan Madrid.  The lead was short-lived as Holy Family tied the game in the 54th minute with Ziegler's goal.

Postseason Picture
