BOX SCORE



GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. -- Gwynedd Mercy took down William Paterson, 2-1, in the team's fourth come-from-behind win this season.

A late goal from freshman Abigail Gabriel (Telford, Pa./Souderton) with 5:21 to play was the difference as the Griffins (6-3), who won their second in a row.

The Pioneers (4-6) took a lead 3:32 into the contest on a goal from Elizabeth Kerr.

Gwynedd, who had 15 penalty corners in the contest, converted late in the first half when junior Stephanie Bacho (Cinnaminson, N.J./Holy Cross) got a stick on a shot from senior Brittany Wilson (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Lower Moreland) past William Paterson goalie Meg Davies in the 33rd minute.

Gabriel would score her third goal and second game-winner of the season off another corner with an assist from fellow freshman Melissa Russo (Saylorsburg, Pa./Pleasant Valley).

Davies finished with nine saves. GM goalie Kelly Kruk (Phoenixville, Pa./Methacton) made eight stops.

The Griffins get back at it on Saturday when they travel to Cedar Crest for a CSAC matchup.
