Mon. Pa. roundup: Notre Dame wins Inter-Ac hockey title
The best team no longer playing, Notre Dame, completed a stellar Monday by beating host Baldwin, 2-0, and wrapping up a third-straight Inter-Ac League field hockey title.
University of Delaware-bound senior Bridget Burns scored both goals for the Irish, who now hand in the uniforms after going 18-1-1 overall and 11-0 in the league.
Notre Dame clinched a tie for the title last Friday in a win over Episcopal Academy and its win over Baldwin made that official.
Katie Gerzabek, a junior, assisted on both of the goals and Emily Fuss, a sophomore, needed to make only a pair of saves for the shutout.
Episcopal Academy needed an overtime to beat host Germantown Academy, 4-3. The Churchwomen had to rally to do it, as Kelsey Gula's goal in the second half cut the Germantown Academy lead to 3-2 and Maggie Forker scored on a penalty corner to send the game into overtime.
Kacey Hirtle then scored the game-winner, assisted by Avery Curley.
Ali Rosen scored the game's first two goals and host Penn Charter held on for a 3-2 win over Springside. Kelly Ragg also scored for the Quakers (9-8-1, 4-6-1).
