Christine Harvey (Edgewood, MD/Aberdeen) played goaltender in the second half and also registered two saves.
Stockton had a great chance to take the early lead on a penalty stroke by Jackie Turner (Medford/Shawnee) just 3:08 into the game, but her high shot was denied by the Delaware Valley goalie. The Aggies then scored first-half goals at 7:15 and 27:29 for a 2-0 lead. In the second half, Stockton pulled within 2-1 at 50:02 when Barbetto poked a loose ball into the cage. Delaware Valley held strong on defense and kept the Ospreys off the scoreboard for the rest of the game for the 2-1 final. |
