On April 25, The Girls Einstein Titans defeated the Watkins Mills Wolverines in a strong 11-4 victory. The 1st quarter revolved around Einstein Dominance, winning multiple ground balls and keeping the game on Wolverine Territory. Einstein attacker #7 Caroline Davis put the first points on the board from a simple penalty shot. The goals wouldn’t end for Einstein as they scored two more from players such as #5 Paige Shultz and and #21 Kayla Rich. Watkins Mills was seen invisible offensively and did not take a single shot in Einstein territory, ending the quarter with a 3-0 Titan lead. Knowing that the Titans would play their emergency game the next day against Springbrook, most starters for Einstein were benched to let the Substitutes get some playtime at the start of the 2nd quarter. Watkins Mills started to finally show signs of life after a strong bull rush goal from captain #21 Olivia Girard. The Wolverines were gaining momentum but the Einstein defense made sure it stood ground. The Titans extended the lead after a #13 Elena Limauro penalty goal, Limauro is known to be excellent when taking penalties. It was a quiet 2nd quarter for both teams and the first half ended 4-1 going towards Einstein. Watkins Mill’s goalie started showing signs of frustration leading up to the start of the 3rd quarter, and the Titans made sure to make it slightly worse for her. Einstein would score 4 more goals in the 3rd quarter, with 3 out of the 4 being taken in the penalty area. Einstein was lucky enough to get this foul called as a result of being aggressive into the crease. Player #2 Sara Torre Limas, pulled one back to reduce the deficit Watkins mills was facing, ending the quarter 8-2. Despite the deficit growing stronger, the Watkins Mills starters were still in play due to the roster only consisting of 12 players, just enough to run a full team in a game. Most of Einstein starters were back in the game to gain some playtime heading into the 4th quarter. Making sure this game was put to a close, the Titans scored 3 more goals, once again from Limauro and from #5 Paige Shultz, who secured the hat trick. Watkins Mill would allow these goals after a play call in which all the players grouped up at the middle of the crease and rushed in an attempt to score, without knowing the middle of the field was completely open once they lost the ball. The bizarre game plan led to a bigger lead for Einstein and more frustration towards the goalie. Girard would achieve a hat trick with two goals in the 4th but was seemingly too late, ending the game with an 11-4 Einstein Win. The Titans move up to 5-4 and will face their makeup game against Springbrook on Friday as Watkins Mills drops to 1-9 and next faces Wheaton on the road.

Limauro scored one more goal securing her fourth along with Einstein player #15 Cassidy Miller scored a goal off of a penalty shot. Despite the score being 13-0, the screaming eagles continued to hustle in at least making the deficit less embarrassing, in which they scored a goal off of a counter attack on their very first shot attempt. Most of Einstein's starters were subbed out entering the 4th quarter. The Titans played less aggressive and tested out new defensive schemes in being comfortable with a 13 point lead. Einstein player #11 Lena Fleschner, scored one more goal into the top right corner of the next in securing a brace. Seneca would also later score a goal with 5 minutes remaining but only in the matter of reducing the deficit. Einstein finished the game winning 14-2.
