true Marywood 17, Gwynedd-Mercy 10

BOX SCORE

SCRANTON, PA. -- Gwynedd-Mercy could find the back of the net in the last 16:10 of the second half as Marywood went on to win 17-10 to give the Griffins their first CSAC loss of the season.

The Griffins (8-5, 5-1 CSAC) trailed 8-5 at halftime but rallied to tie it three times early in the second getting to 10-10 before the Pacers pulled away in the second stanza.

Senior Kristie Pollock (Kennett Square, Pa./Unionville), junior Shannon Carabba (Erdenheim, Pa./Springfield), and sophomore Brigid Dowling (Philadephia, Pa./Little Flower) led Gwynedd with two goals each.

Taylor McKeown scored a game-high seven goals while teammate Diana D'Achille addded six to lead the Pacers (10-3, 5-1 CSAC) into a two-way tie for first place with the Griffins.

MU outshot the Griffins, 40-22, and won the groundball battle, 33-21.

Senior goalie Trisha Timony (Allentown, N.J./Allentown) made 15 saves, but it wasn't enough for GM.

Gwynedd will host Goucher in non-league action on Tuesday before travelling to Centenary on Wednesday in a big CSAC matchup. With a win over the Cyclones, the Griffins will secure at least a first-round playoff bye.
