Karidas helped to tie it at 1-1 as she converted on one of the 10 corners in the stanza with an assist from junior
Brianne Kline (York, Pa./Central York).
But Krystal Wilbur and Keystone answered less than two minutes later on a penalty corner of their own.
The Griffins had four corners in the last 5:53 of the game, but could find the equalizer.
Blank finished with six saves for the Giants (4-4, 3-0 CSAC). Sophomore
Kelly Kruk (Phoenixville, Pa./Methacton) made four.
