THE LAST MEETING (MILLERSVILLE 3, ESU 1 - OCT. 23, 2013)

The Marauders, perhaps still recovering from a long weekend trip, were kept off of the scoreboard and managed just three shots in the first half. A penalty corner 11 minutes into the second period provided the Marauders with their first score. The Warriors made a valiant effort in the final 10 minutes, but Sotzin saved three of Roth's shots and one more from Hosford to keep the lead intact.
