How It Happened
 
* Holy Family freshman Tori Wolstenholme (Philadelphia, Pa./St. Hubert's) put the Tigers on the board first as she tallied the game's first goal within the first :34 seconds of action.  Junior Mackenzie Santucci (Columbus, N.J./Northern Burlington Regional (RCBC)) won the opening draw to lead the Tigers down field to setup the score.
 
* The lead didn't last long as Wilmington responded on the following possession with its first score of the game.  The Wildcats went on to score another two goals to lead 3-1 five minutes into the half.  Both teams would exchange goals before Santucci brought the Tigers within one point of the lead with a goal at the 21:07 mark at 4-3.
 
* The one goal deficit would be as close as the Tigers would get of the lead on the day as the Wildcats went on a 6-0 run to lead 10-3 with just over five minutes remaining in the half.  Santucci tacked on another goal for the Tigers before the Wildcats capped the scoring in the half with a goal by Taylor Lambeth in the final minute to extend the lead to 11-4 entering halftime.
 
* Holy Family opened the second half with back-to-back goals by freshman Maura Kilkenny (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Little Flower) and Santucci to make the score 11-6.  However, the Wildcats would answer with four straight goals while keeping the Tigers scoreless for a 13-minute span.  Trailing 15-6 with just over 13 minutes left in regulation, Kilkenny and Santucci once again tallied back-to-back scores to bring the Tigers within seven goals of the lead at the 10:26 mark. Holy Family went on to outscore the Wildcats, 5-2, in the final 13 minutes of the game.
