At 6:00 it was over to the University of
Delaware for the anitcipated match between the two-time defending champion St. Andrew's
Cardinals and the Hillers of Tower Hill.
All-American Heidi Pearce was limited to just one goal by the Hillers and that was the key
to the 7-5 win for the new champs from Tower Hill.
Center Hiller Casey Owens was player who drew the coverage assignment of Pearce, who
scored over 100 goals in this season alone. Owens also took every faceoff with Pearce and
managed towin 60 percent of the draws, an overlooked factor in this game.
Tower held Saint to just two goals in the first half., neither by Pearce.
Owens also contributed a first-half goal for Tower, who scored six of their seven
goals in the first half.
Maggie Giddens started the scoring for Tower two minutes into the game and was tied
four minutes later by Hannah Osier.
Both teams played a ball control offense and tight checking defense and the game
remained tied at one for the next ten minutes when Jill Hocutt was awarded an 8-meter
direct shot, which she converted for the second goal.
Freshman Emma Wallace scored for Saint on an assist from Courtney Cordeiro for the
other first half goal.
After Owens scored her goal, a Saint time out only resulted in two more Tower Goals
as Austin Gee scored and and Kerry Sallee scored on Hocutt's second assist of the half.
Meredith Goeller picked up two second half goals in the first 11 minutes of the
second half, but still Pearce hadn't made a mark. Tower goalie Katie Ireland stepped up to
challenge in the net making seven saves in the game, one a head save (and a beauty) on a
Pearce shot.
Hocutt scored her second direct shot with 11:36 to go, and then Tower clamped down.
When Pearce finally did score, it came with just four minutes to go, and the fundamentally
sound Hillers play keep away to secure their first state championship.
