The Judges improved to 6-8-1 on the year while the Gulls fell to 10-7. A physical match was dominated early on by the Gulls who outshot the Judges 15-4 in the first half and earned six corner kicks. Despite the plethora of chances, Endicott could not find the net and allowed Brandeis to strike first. In the 27th minute, Brandeis sophomore midfielder Mary Shimko played a through ball in towards the box. Sophomore forward Hilary Andrews Dartmouth broke past Endicott’s central defender and beat the keeper to the ball, poking the shot into the left hand corner of the net for the 10 lead. The goal was Andrews’ second of the year. The Gulls’ breakthrough came late in the first half off of a free kick. Junior Captain Caitlin Peters swung a free kick in to the far post. Fellow Captain Colleen Pepin took a touch and blasted a shot from point blank range past the Judges’ junior goalie Kofinas to knot the game at one. Her team leading 15th goal of the year in the 41st minute resulted in a tie at the end of the first half. In the second half, Endicott continued to dominate possession. The Gulls took another 13 shots and earned four more corner kicks in their efforts to break the stalemate. Even though Endicott finished the game with 28 shots to eight for Brandeis and 10 corner kicks to just one for the Judges, it was Brandeis’ Theodore who provided the difference. The Judges’ rookie defender Alec Spivak took a free kick from just inside the center circle. The perfectly placed ball found the feet of Theodore in stride, streaking in from the right side. Theodore took a touch and found the left corner of the net past a diving Donnelly for the 2-1 advantage. The Judges were due to continue their play at Lesley University last week.
