How it Happened: Because Bryn Athyn arrived late to campus due to a bus issue, the teams decided prior to the game to play a 70-minute game, thus two 35-minute halves. Lancaster Bible controlled possession from the opening whistle, but did not score until 31:33 when junior
Raegan Horst scored her team-leading 10th goal of the season off a pass from sophomore
Maddie Dionne.Â
The Chargers protected their 1-0 lead throughout the second half as they once again dominated possession and didn't let Bryn Athyn have any breathing room. Freshman
Danni DeVinney doubled the Chargers' lead to 2-0 at 59:11 as she netted her fifth goal of the season off a feed from Dionne who picked up her second assist of the day.Â
