Championship Contenders
Since Johns Hopkins University claimed the No. 1 seed in field hockey, men’s soccer, and women’s soccer, the format for the CC Tournament is slightly different from the year prior. Johns Hopkins will host the semifinals match of the Gettysburg/F&M winner on Nov. 5, with the championship set for Nov. 7 in Baltimore, Md. on Homewood Field. McDaniel College, who earned the No. 2 seed, will host No. 3 seed Swarthmore College on Friday.
Gettysburg’s Playoff History
The Bullets will be making their 17th appearance in the conference tournament. Under the guidance of head coach Matt Garrett, Gettysburg has competed in the postseason in ten of the last 11 campaigns. Gettysburg has won five Centennial titles (1993-94-98-99-2004) and one tournament championship since its inception in 2001 (2004).
All-Time Series
Last week’s game marked the 33rd time that Gettysburg and F&M have competed against each other in a series that started in 1989. The Bullets hold the all-time series record at 26-6-1, with Gettysburg capturing ten straight wins before last week’s 1-1 draw. Tuesday night’s matchup will be the first between Gettysburg and F&M in the conference tournament.
Previous Meeting
The Bullets and Diplomats met just five days ago in Lancaster, Pa., with the game ending in a hard-fought 1-1 double-overtime draw. Neither team registered a goal until the second half when Kelly Gaudian (Arlington, Va./Washington-Lee) headed the ball into the back of the net off a corner kick taken by Emma Bedell (Chatham, N.J./Mount Saint Mary) in the 71st minute. Seven minutes later, the Diplomats’ Meg O’Callahan netted one in off a penalty kick to tie it up 1-1. F&M outshot Gettysburg 7-2 between both overtimes, with only one shot on goal that goalkeeper Maddie Cunningham (Mount Airy, Md./Linganore) turned aside.
