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 the 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 to win 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.
