In a rematch of the 2009 County Championship game, the Wilson Bulldogs hosted the Exeter Eagles in a battle of two of the top girls' lacrosse programs in Berks County.  The game started off slow with a full 8 minutes going by before Kim Sheaffer opened up the scoring for Wilson.  Exeter put in the next 2 goals scored by Madison Orbitz to take a 2-1 lead.

Wilson pulled even at 2-2 with another goal from Kim Shaeffer but then fell behind again as Exeter's Brittney Heimbauch scored just before the half giving the Eagles a 3-2 lead at halftime.

Coming out of the half Wilson scored 2 goals less that 2 minutes apart, one each from Julie Stopper and Patty Kiecko, giving them a 4-3 lead.  Just when it looked as if Wilson was going to pull away, 3 straight goals by Exeter, 2 from Melanie Sayres and 1 from Brittney Heimbauch, gave Exeter back the lead at 6-4.

The back and forth scoring continued as Wilson evened the score up at 6 with another goal from Julie Stopper and a goal from Laura McCanney.  With the game tied 6-6 and time running out this game looked as if it were bound for overtime, but with less than 2 minutes left Exeter's Madison Orbitz found the back of the goal for her 3rd goal of the game and lifted Exeter to a 7-6 victory.

Great game girls!
