The Gwyynedd Mercy University Women's Soccer team ended their game against Mulenberg College in a draw, 1-1, on Saturday afternoon.  Prior to kick off the Griffins honored the PA Rush 11 and under girls soccer team.  Players were accompanied by the Rush during starting lineups.

At 17:24 in the first, Muhllenberg's Phoebe Shields found Mackenzie O'Brien in the center of the box to put the Mules up 1-0.  Despite trading off shots for the majority of the half, the Griffins were unable to gain a clear offensive advantage.

Down 1-0 at the break, the Mules outshot the Griffins 8-3 with neither team having an advantage in penalty corners.  Following the lone goal of the half, the Mules offensive push would deny the Griffins a shot on goal for nearly 28 minutes.
