BOX SCORE



GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. -- Neumann pinned a 16-2 defeat on Gwynedd Mercy as the Griffins lost their second-straight Colonial States Athletic Conference game Saturday afternoon.

The Griffins (3-5, 0-3 CSAC) played a majority of the second half down a man, turning a close 5-1 deficit at the break into a big deficit.

Junior Danae Perrymond (Pottstown, Pa./Pottstown) and freshman Arianna Hensinger (Mt. Laurel, N.J./Camden Catholic) scored for Gwynedd, who failed to reach double-digit goals for the fifth game in a row.

Jordan Hopkins led the Knights (4-4, 3-1 CSAC) with five goals and seven draws, both game highs. Emily Sanders and Shae Risley added three each and Diana Caicedo chipped in a pair as Neumann opened the second stanza on a quick five-goal burst.

Freshman goalie Bria Gillard (Philadelphia, Pa./Little Flower) was busy, making 10 saves on 37 shots. Junior Brianna Greer (Philadelphia, Pa./Bishop McDevitt) contributed five draws while Christy Knipe (Perkasie, Pa./Pennridge) and freshman Lauren Mitros (Glenside, Pa./Bishop McDevitt) both had three caused turnovers each.

Gabby Curry recorded nine saves for the Knights, who collected 24 groundballs and caused 13 turnovers.

Gwynedd Mercy is right back at it on Monday in a rescheduled game at Centenary starting at 4 p.m.
