Gwynedd Mercy University (5-3-1) welcomed Wilson College (7-3-1) to the Athletic Complex for Wednesday (Sept. 27) night’s contest. Semenovykh’s natural hat trick (22:30, 23:42, 50:54) gave the Griffins a 3-0 edge on the Phoenix and Ronn’s 17-save performance preserved the victory while earning her, her first win (1-3-1) of the season.
