Sophomore Josh Wollaston (Middletown, Del./Caravel Academy), who was coming off a two-assist game on Friday, scored 15 minutes into the second half to reestablish the two-goal cushion, but the Eagles needed just three minutes to answer.

Eastern tied the score at 3-3 with a goal seven minutes before the end of regulation.

The Eagles cranked up the offense in the first overtime period ripping off seven shots over 10 minutes, but Alvernia keeper Ben Diller (Etters, Pa./Red Land) stopped the four that were on frame and finished with seven saves for the game.

Alvernia was able to snap off a pair of shots in the extra periods.  One by Alex Martyn in the first overtime that sailed wide and a second by Ricky Bruno (Reading, Pa./Exeter) that was saved.

The Crusaders have a quick turnaround and will travel to Gwynedd-Mercy on Wednesday.
