It was a memorable Senior Night at Central Bucks South as the Titans honored five outstanding seniors; Tessa Walls, Kaeli Vandersluis, Jordyn McCartin, Kaylee Conner, and Alivia Lloyd before delivering a dramatic 10–9 overtime win against Archbishop Wood.
CB South came out strong in the first quarter, jumping on the scoreboard early when junior Kelly McDonald finished a goal with an assist from Tessa Walls to tie the game at 1–1. After Archbishop Wood responded with a run to take a 4–1 lead, the Titans regrouped. Junior captain Sarah Victor sparked momentum out of a timeout, followed by a goal from Walls to cut the deficit to 4–3. Wood added a late goal to close the quarter up 5–3.
The second quarter saw Wood extend its lead to 8–4, but CB South stayed within striking distance. Senior attacker Kaylee Conner converted an 8-meter opportunity late in the half to make it 8–5 heading into the break.
Out of halftime, the Titans showed resilience. After Wood pushed the lead to 9–5, Walls and McDonald responded with back-to-back goals to make it 9–7. Strong defensive play on both sides kept the score unchanged through the remainder of the third quarter.
In the fourth, CB South’s defense set the tone. A key caused turnover by Vandersluis led to a transition opportunity, with McDonald finishing off a well-executed sequence to make it 9–8.

The Titans had additional chances late, but the game remained deadlocked, sending it to overtime.
