HOW IT HAPPENED

• Shenandoah used goals from Ainsley Buckner (11:34), Amy Bell (7:54) and Emily Lerch (6:22) to take a 3-0 lead going into the first break. 
• The Generals were plagued with unforced errors through the first 15 minutes and couldn't find a rhythm on offense. 
• The Blue and White then found their grove and responded with a 6-0 stretch during the second quarter and into the third. 
• Hanna Bishop found Ginny Taylor for the first goal of the night at 13:55.
• Alex Petras then followed up the tally with an unassisted goal at 11:35
• At the 4:38 mark, Claire Horned scored a free position attempt to even the score at 3-all. 
• Just forty seconds later, attacker Hanna Bishop scored what would prove to be the game-winner, an unassisted tally and the 199th mark of her career. 
• With a 4-3 advantage after the halftime break, W&L put two more scores on the board, an unassisted Julia Thomson drive at 13:50 and a Walker McKnight free position score at 10:21. 
• The visitors were able to cut the lead back down within two, thanks to notches from Alex Ripkin and Kate Vendemia to bookend the third break. 
• The fourth quarter saw just a pair of goals in the last 15 minutes of action: the Vendemia free position goal and the home team's final tally.
• W&L benefited from a advantage-goal from Thomson at 4:37, the final score of the night.
