The first half was nothing short of a battle as both teams enjoyed scoring runs to hold brief leads. Elmira led 2-1 after 11 minutes of play when Mount Saint Vincent scored three straight times to take a 4-2 lead. Tucci scored her goal at 17:00 on a free position shot to tie the score at two. Comis scored her second goal of the game five minutes later to give the Mount the lead, and Martin feed junior Cyndi Adams (Mechanicsville, MD/Chopticon HS) with 8:34 to play in the first half to give the Dolphins a two goal advantage. However, Elmira scored at 5:38 to cut the lead to one, and then in a stunning series, the Golden Eagles (2-1) scored twice during the final eight seconds of the first half to take a 5-4 lead into halftime.
Elmira's late rally seemed to completely turn the tide of the game as the Golden Eagles scored the first two goals of the second half to extend their lead to three, and never looked back.
Also having a solid outing for the Mount was freshman goalie Jackie Horn (Setauket, NY/Ward Melville HS), who made nine saves in a losing effort.
Mount Saint Vincent returns to action on Sunday, March 25 when they travel to Ramapo College for a 10:00 a.m. game.
