Late Goal Lifts Drew Past Wesley, 2-1, In ECAC Mid-Atlantic Field Hockey Tournament Semifinals

Drew's Brooke Gagliano broke a 1-1 tie in the 57th minute to lead the Rangers to a 2-1 win over Wesley in the semifinals of ECAC Division III Mid-Atlantic Championship.

Neither team scored at all until the 33rd minute, when Sarah Charles took an assist from Megan Howlett to give Drew (15-6) a 1-0 halftime lead.

The Wolverines (14-10) answered back on Madison Leone's 21st goal of the year, assisted by Nicole Hill.

Less than seven minutes later, Gagliano put in the game winner off an assist from Stacie Brown.

Sarah Johnson made one save for Wesley, as did Christiana Carlini of Drew.

Hill's assist was her Capital Athletic Conference leading 11th of the year, while Leone's goal extended her lead amongst the conference scorers.

The loss ends Wesley's season at 14-10.  It marks the 14th consecutive season of at least 11 wins for the program.
