Gulotta broke a 2-2 tie in the 107^th minute, as junior Stephanie Watters (Oxford, N.J./Warren Hills Regional) found her before Gulotta found the back of the net for the first multi-goal game of the season for the Warriors (2-13-3 overall, 1-7-1 Commonwealth).
 
Gulotta got the Warriors the lead with the first shot of the second half, as freshman Leah Handwerk (Hockessin, Del./Wilmington Friends School) found her for Gulotta’s team-leading third strike of the season. The Blazers (2-15 overall, 0-9 Commonwealth) tied the game, though, in the 62^nd minute when Aimee Smith scored.
 
In the first half, the Blazers got on the board first, scoring in the 36^th minute when Lia Miller found the back of the net, but the Warriors got on the board eight minutes later, as Handwerk found junior Briana Riddick (Slatington, Pa./Northern Lehigh), and Riddick dropped in her second goal of the year to equalize the game heading into the break.
 
Both goalies were forced into a lot of action in the first half, as Leah Norris stopped two shots for Hood and sophomore Sam Stropko (Sayre, Pa./Athens Area) stopped three for the Warriors.
