MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
• It did not take long for Millersville to get on the scoreboard. In the 6^th minute, Frank Astarita picked up a loose ball outside the left corner of the box. Dancing around a defender, he struck a shot, pulling it across the face of goal. Bob Hennessey then made a heads-up play on the far post and followed it up with a good finish from six yards out to give the Marauders the early lead.

•  Shepherd found an opportunity to equalize in the 24^th minute. Adam Rice assisted Justin Daniels for the goal. It was Rice's first assist and Daniels' first goal of 2019.

•  The game remained 1-1 until the 66^th minute, when Anthony Calamia made an incredible solo run. He picked up the ball about 30 yards away from goal and dribbled skillfully down the sideline. Making his way past several defenders, he got a quick shot off from a narrow angle that flew through the keeper's legs and into the back of the net. The goal turned out to be the game-winning moment of the match.

POST GAME REACTION FROM HEAD COACH STEVE WIDDOWSON
• On today's performance compared to last Wednesday's vs. St. Thomas Aquinas: "It was a much better performance in terms of effort and intensity. We created lots of opportunities but didn't make the most of them. We lacked a bit of quality on our final pass/decision making and why we made the game harder than it needed to be.

• On the contributions of Bob Hennessey and Anthony Calamia: "For sure we need more guys contributing on the point scoring side of things so it was good to see both guys stepping up today. Calamia was much better today and showed a lot more of what he's capable of. We have talked to Hennessey about having a better final product so getting a goal today was great.

• On preparing the team for the week ahead: "We need to keep grinding out results. We will continue to work on cleaning up things on the training field and preparing for two tough opponents and doing everything we can to keep this run going."
