An early second half surge put the Bulldogs (3-3-1) ahead, 2-0. At the 39:28 mark, Alex Peek connected with Aaron Povlow for the first goal of the game. Peek's crossing pass deflected off a Griffin defender right to the top of the box where Povlow beat Gengaro.
Peek would then score himself at 36:21 after dribbling a pass from freshmen Alan Smith into the box and snuck a shot under Gengaro.
The Griffins (0-5) had four second-half shots, all of which had a chance to get the GM on the board.
Gengaro totaled seven saves before exiting the game with 32:03 left in the second half. Sophomore
Ryan Oyola (Tabernacle, N.J./ Seneca) made two stops to finish out the game.
Gwynedd will look for their first win in front of the home crowd on Saturday at 12 p.m. when they host Widener University.
