LHU eventually led 14-3 at the break.

Leading the way for the Lady Eagles tonight was senior Rachael Williams (Gettysburg, Pa./Catoctin), who recorded a game-high seven points. She played a sensational game in the midfield and was the Haven's leading play maker with five assists. Williams also tallied two goals.
