How It Happened
 
* Midway through the first overtime period, senior Jacqueline Ziegler (Feasterville, Pa./Neshaminy) received a pass up the right side where she then turned towards the goal and made a pass to inside the box.  Senior Hannah Florentino (Philadelphia, Pa./Nazareth Academy) tapped the ball and that's when Nothnagel got a foot on it and found the back of the net for the game-winning score. 
 
* Holy Family tied the game in the 56th minute to force overtime.  Ziegler scored her fourth goal of the season to tie the game.  The score was set up by a corner kick opportunity with senior Yasmine Machlof (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Lower Moreland) providing the assist.
 
* Mercy in the 24th minute to take a 1-0 lead after a goal by Carli LoNigro. 
 
Inside the Box Score
 
* Nothnagel's goal was her third of the season and just so happened to also be her third game-winning score. 
 
* Ziegler's assist on Nothnagel's goal marked her seventh of the season which currently ranks tops in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.
 
* Senior goalkeeper Alayna McSeed (Bensalem, Pa./Bensalem) made four saves in net for the Tigers on her way to her ninth victory of the season; most in the CACC.  McSeed's goals against average is now at 0.62 which is still the lowest among rankable goalkeepers in the conference.
 
* Machlof and Florentino each set new career-highs with their respective assists in the game.  Machlof now has three on the season, while Florentino has two.
