At the 9:37 mark, Gottschalk sent another shot past the HC keeper but Ashley Werner (Saugerties, NY/Saugerties) quickly answered with one of her own to see the blue and white down just 3-2 less than a minute later.

New Paltz quickly regrouped scored another goal 1:06 later. With just 5:15 until the halftime horn, Werner blasted in a shot and Lauren Rosenberg's (Smithtown, NY/Commack) free-position goal deadlocked play, 4-up.

Young's second goal of the game snowballed into a 7-1 run for 'Wick as four different scorers found the net for an 11-10 lead for the hosts.

In the last five minutes down one, New Paltz could only get off one shot attempt in the final window which was left wide by Nicole Gottschalk.
