With a minute left in an 8-8 game against No. 6 Good Counsel on Tuesday, Bishop Ireton attacker Reilly Casey held the ball in her stick and surveyed the defense from behind the Falcons' net.

The sophomore didn't want to rush a look on goal because No. 1 Bishop Ireton might not get another possession in regulation. But Casey recognized an opening.
