Default the girl soaked with water?

Could you please change any mistakes (whether it is grmmar or meaning) in the following sentnece?

When the Korean team beat the opposite team, i got so excited. Therefore, without knowing, i lifed up the water bottle above my head and shook it. the water in the bottle came out and i found a woman in front of me soaked with water. i felt so sorry for her.

i found a woman in front of me soaked with water- this doesn't really sound natural. I'd say:
