BOX SCORE


MADISON, N.J. – Junior Maria Karidas (Richboro, Pa./Council Rock South) scored a goal and assisted on the overtime winner for her 100th career point to help lift Gwynedd-Mercy to a 4-3 victory over FDU-Florham on Friday.

Junior Sarah Jackson (Sewell, N.J./Washington Twp.) scored twice, including the game-winner in overtime to cap a wild second half.

Karidas, who came into the game with 98 points, hit the milestone at the 19:34 mark of the second stanza by converting on a penalty stroke to give GM (8-3) a 2-1 lead. The Red Devils answered with a tally just over four minutes later.

With 6:27 left to play, freshman Katie O'Neill (Newtown, Pa./Council Rock North) scored on an assist from Jackson for a late lead, but again FDU-Florham (6-6) rallied with a score with 4:07 showing.

Gwynedd, who had been outshot, 20-9, in regulation, took the only three shots in the extra time including Jackson's final score 3:26 into the overtime. The goal was her third overtime game-winner of her career.

Goalie Kelly Kruk (Phoenixville, Pa./Methacton) made all 12 saves count. Red Devil keeper Tess Loughran recorded six.

The Griffins are right back at it tomorrow with a CSAC matchup against Cedar Crest starting at 3 p.m.
