Orrben Scores Twice to Send Wesley to CAC Semifinals

ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. - Gina Orrben scored twice for Wesley, including the game-winner in the 89th minute to send the Wolverines to the semifinals of the Capital Athletic Conference Championships with a 2-1 win at St. Mary's (Md.).

Wesley also got a stellar performance from Brittany Block, who made 16 saves in goal.

The game did not start out promising for the fifth-seeded Wolverines (12-7-1), as the Seahawks scored just 48 seconds in off a goal by Caitlin Evans. 

That lead stood for 68 minutes until Orrben scored her eighth goal of the year on a scramble after a corner kick at 68:52 to tie things at 1-1.

With the score still tied, Orrben's ninth score of the year punched Wesley's ticket to the semifinals at 88:09 as the ball went into the lower right corner.

Wesley was outshot on the day, 27-7, but Block was up to the task.  The senior keeper turned away 16 shots on goal after giving up a score in a crowd in the opening minute.

The win was also Wesley's 12th of the year, tying the school record for wins.

With the win, Wesley will face top-seeded Salisbury in the semifinals.  The Sea Gulls defeated the eight seed, Marymount, 3-0 in the quarterfinals.  The Wolverines travel down Route 13 for the match on October 31.
