Ephs gained early momentum after scoring their first goal within the first five minutes of the game by senior Jess Overlander (New Canaan, CT) off a penalty corner insertion by senior Julia Nawrocki (Winchester, UK) and assist by junior Amy Siedlecki (Madison, CT). The competitive battle continued between the long-standing rivals as each team fought for ball possession. The second, and last goal of regulation time, was scored by sophomore Liz Schink (Chicago, IL) of Amherst with less then ten minutes left in the first half leveling the score out to 1-1.
With the second half remaining competitive, but scoreless, Ephs and Lord Jeffs went into overtime to determine the winner. Malloy's goal determined the final score of the game: 2-1 in Amherst's favor.
"We had lots of opportunities and the game was very back and forth, but in the end we came out on the wrong end of it," Commented Coach Alix Rorke.
First-year Meera Sivalingam (Philadelphia, PA) put in a strong effort. Sophomore Alice Bearn (Bethlehem, PA) and first-year Lucy Rollins (Rye, NY) each gave the Ephs many opportunities on the offensive end.
Eph sophomore goalie Katrina Tulla (New Canaan, CT) played the full 74:37 compiling a total of 8 saves and allowing 2 goals.
