GREENCASTLE-ANTRIM 3, SHIPPENSBURG 2 >> Despite being down 2-0 after the first half, Greencastle-Antrim came out of the locker room with a vengeance and earned a Mid Penn Colonial Division victory over Shippensburg.
The Lady Hounds (0-1, 0-1 MPC) got a goal and an assist from Zoe Holtry in the first half, and Madison Kline also scored once.
"We were certainly not ready for the first half of the game today, and it showed," G-A coach Becca Farson said. "However, after a tough halftime talk, the spark we needed came alive."
Greencastle (1-2, 1-0 MPC) immediately got things going, tying the score at 2-2 just five minutes into the second half. Jean Hart had a hand in all three goals, finishing with a goal and two assists. Racheal Marconi scored a pair of goals.
"Jean had her stick in every play and was feeding the ball to Rachael," Farson said. "Racheal kept a cool head in the circle and delivered two hard-earned goals that gave us the momentum for the final minutes and our last goal."
