NOTES:

WISS TIE, 2-2 AGAINST UPPER MERION
THE WISS GIRLS PRESSED EARLY, WITH ALYSSA RYAN SCORING ON A DIRECT KICK WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF THE GAME'S START. WISS CONTINUED TO HOLD GROUND UNTIL UPPER MERION FOUND THERE RYTHEM AT 30 MINUTES IN, CATCHING WISS AT 6 SHOTS A PIECE TO CLOSE THE HALF. THE SECOND HALF STARTED AGAIN WITH WISS PUSHING HARD ON UMHS TALLYING TEN SHOTS TO FIVE. HOWEVER AT AROUND MINUTE 65 OF THE GAME, UMHS #23 KELLY, FOUND THE BACK OF THE NET TO BRING THE SCORE EVEN. WISS ANSWERED AT 76:01 WHEN RYAN'S DIRECT KICK FOUND TALIA ABRAHAMS FOR A GOAL TO AGAIN BRING WISS AHEAD 2-1. IT LOOKED LIKE WISS WOULD PREVAIL WHEN UMHS MADE A KEEPER CHANGE IN THE LAST FIVE MINUTES OF REGULATION (A MOVE THAT PAID OFF FOR UMHS). AT MINUTE 79:52, LEGENDRE (UMHS' GOALTENDER, NOW IN MIDFIELD) WAS ABLE TO CONNECT OFF A UMHS CORNER FOR THE GAME'S EQUALIZER. TWO OVERTIME PERIODS WERE PLAYED WITHOUT SCORE, ENDING THE MATCH AT 2-2.
CENTER MIDFIELDER, MEGHAN GUZEWICZ CONTRIBUTED TO WISSAHICKON'S FIGHT WITH FIVE OFFENSIVE HEADERS ALLOWING WISS CONTROL IN THE AIR AND FIVE SHOTS ON GOAL KEEPING UMHS' LEGENDRE WORKING . CAPTAIN ANNA CHIODO ORTIZ, MARY MATTHEWS, AND EMILY VERVLIED ARE ALSO CREDITED WITH HARD FOUGHT GAMES FROM THE BACKFIELD.
