HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Generals needed just two minutes and 13 seconds to strike first. The Generals were awarded a free hit outside the circle; Emma Gatrell played the ball back to Ally Hoffman who found Zoe Dolfis at the top of the scoring area. Dolfis dribbled through three defenders and fired a shot inside. The ball went in the net untouched for the first tally of the day. 
• Dolfis created an opportunity to attack on the right side of the goal; her shot had a limited angle and was stopped by Bridgewater's keeper. Allison Pitts then collected the free ball and buried it past the goal line. 
• A pair of seniors connected for the Generals' third goal via a penalty corner. Kate Ruffin inserted the ball to Emma Gatrell who sent a hard shot inside the circle. A Paige Mamorella tip put the ball high out of the keepers' reach for another W&L tally. 
• Betty Boatwright registered the final Blue and White goal of the game in the third quarter. Boatwright dribbled parallel to the endline and snuck her shot past the BC keeper.
• The Bridgwater tally came off Meredyth Rankin penalty corner insert to Bekah Mercer and brought the score to 4-1.
