TEAM RECORDS AND RANKINGS

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The game was a closely contested affair in the first 25 minutes, and JWU finally broke in the ice in the 30^th after the Judges committed a foul just outside the 18-yard penalty box. Though the PK was not awarded, the Wildcats surrounded the ball in misdirection, and Jordan Restivo's shot along the ground eluded Brandeis's wall and slipped inside the far left post.
• Brandeis's offensive was inspired, and the Judges answered in the 37^th minute. Junior midfielder Charlotte TeKrony (Aldie, Va. / John Champe) played a terrific long ball down the left side to Carreiro. She chipped over the charging keeper to score the equalizer.
• With the score tied at the half, Brandeis came out on fire in the second. The Judges scored on the first shot of the stanza. Grad student Makenna Hunt (Tyngsboro, Mass./Tyngsboro) found junior Sydney Lenhart (Tucson, Ariz. / Salpointe Catholic) inside the box from the right flank. Lenhart took a couple of touches and fired the ball into the goal to give Brandeis the lead in the 51^st minute.
• Restivo shot a ball into the side of the net in the 54^th minute, but Brandeis continued to dominate, collecting two corners and five shots on goal in the 56^th and 57^th minutes. They finally broke through for an insurance goal in the 58^th when grad student Bailey Cullen (Connellsvile, Pa. / Greensburg Central Catholic) converted Carreiro's cross to make it 3-1.
