HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Despite firing off the first five shots of the game, the Bengals found themselves down 1-0 after the Panthers Kaitlyn Williams managed to chip in a shot over the goalkeeper in the 25th minute.
  • Buffalo State wasted little time and evened up the game 1-1 just over a minute later as Hatch tallied her first goal, walking the ball into the back of the net after dodging a Pitt-Bradford defender and the goalkeeper.
  • The Panthers found themselves on top again after an own goal from Buffalo State. A misjudged header from a Bengal defender sent the ball into their own net.
  • The Bengals bounced right back and tied the game 2-2 as Breanna Knight (Valley Stream/Valley Stream South) recorded her first goal of the season with a shot that zipped across the net to the far left corner off a pass from Kristin Seiferth (Brightwaters/Bay Shore) in the 39th minute.
  • Hatch scored her second goal and the game winner three minutes later, collecting her own rebound off the crossbar for a quick put back.
  • The Bengals continued to dominate possession in the second half, not allowing the Panthers a single shot.
  • Buffalo State fired off plenty of strong shots throughout the half, but the Pitt-Bradford goalkeeper kept the Panthers from a larger deficit.
  • In the closing seconds, Melissa Smith (N. Tonawanda/Niagara-Wheatfield) fought through a scramble in front of the net, got a foot on the ball and slipped it past the goalkeeper to seal the Bengals victory.
  • Buffalo State held a 28-2 advantage in total shots, including a 15-2 advantage in shots on goal. The Bengals also held a 6-1 advantage in corner kicks.
  • Bengal goalkeeper Erica Knudsen (Wayne, NJ/Wayne Hills) earned her first collegiate win in net.
 
FOR THE FOES
  • Kaitlyn Williams scored a goal for the Panthers off a pass from Meghan Stuck.
  • Goalkeeper Sarah Dailey made 11 saves.
