HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Albertus nabbed a three-goal lead in the opening quarter, including a player-up tally by Ly with 1:08 remaining in the first. Retasket connected for the first Falcons' goal at 5:44, followed by two straight with a minute remaining by Ly and J. Montano. After O'Brien won the draw control with the Falcons up by two, the sophomore sent the ball to J. Montano who found the twine with 52 seconds remaining in the quarter for the 3-0 edge.
  • The Panthers closed the gap with a goal in the second quarter by Katherine Campbell, but the hosts regained the three-goal advantage off another score by J. Montano at 12:10, off the assist by Retasket. Albertus capitalized on a failed clear and turnover by the hosts for the 4-1 lead.
  • The Panthers then went on a scoring spree thanks to three unassisted goals from Katia Maisonneuve, who tied the game at 4-4. 
  • Signor responded with a goal for the visitors with 4:42 left in the second quarter on a free-position shot, which gave the Falcons a 5-4 lead at halftime. 
  • Maisonneuve scored once again in the third quarter to make it a tie game once again. The two sides went back and forth for several minutes with Schlechtweg and O'Brien scoring for Albertus. O'Brien capitalized on the drawn foul for a player-down free-position goal.
  • To start the fourth quarter, the score was 7-7. Campbell scored the first goal of the quarter and gave the Panthers a lead to play with, but the Falcons then answered with two more goals to take a one-goal lead thanks to tallies by Signor and O'Brien netted eight seconds apart.
  • In the final 1:06 of regulation, Campbell connected for the game-tying and game-winning goals for Old Westbury.
