Catherine Dickinson scored six goals, Alexandra Bruno added five goals and an assist, and Jenna Fuchs had a goal and four assists.

McDonald had some struggles early, giving up goals on bouncers off free-position shots. She did rebound and made a crucial save of a free position – on a low shot – with 9:13 left and Garden City hugging a 12-11 lead. “It’s not how many saves you make,” she said, “it’s when you make ‘em.”

Bruno scored with 12:02 left to put the Trojans ahead, 11-10, and, with the score tied again, she got another with 10:14 left to give them a 12-11 lead they didn’t relinquish. “I knew my team needed me,” she said. “When we needed some goals at the end, I was more aggressive, because I hadn’t done too much before, but I knew I had to get the ball in the back of the goal.”
