HOW IT HAPPENED

• It was a game of runs on Saturday with the Generals striking first with four unanswered goals from Julia Thomson, Claire Horner, Emma Marsh and Hanna Bishop. 
• Bishops' unassisted tally at the 7:20 mark in the second quarter marked her 25th on the year and put W&L ahead 4-0. 
• York responded by matching the four scores and held W&L scoreless until the third period. 
• Sydney Mentzer buried a shot into the back of the net for the home team with 9:43 to go in the third. Madison Kurland dished out an assist with the player-advantage opportunity to even the score 4 apiece.  
• Alex Petras and Bishop teamed up to take two goals back for the Generals at the 4:42 and 2:51 timestamps in the third, respectively. 
• York halted W&L's momentum with a pair of unanswered tallies to tie it up for the second time at 6-all with 12:51 remaining.
• The Spartans then earned their first lead of the day with a player-up unassisted tally from the 8-meter from Madison Kurland a minute later. 
• Bishop equalized the score for W&L with 10:40 left on the clock. 
• A Walker McKnight drive put the Blue and White ahead for good. Then Thomson found Horner, as she scored her tenth goal of the season, to give W&L a cushion for the final four minutes of play.
