GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. -- A pair of second half goals lifted the Gwynedd Mercy University Women's Soccer team to a 2-1 victory over Notre Dame of Maryland University Wednesday night in Colonial States Athletic Conference action.

Samantha Brown and Meghan Petroski each recorded a goal and assist for the Griffins (6-4-2, 4-2 CSAC) to win their second game in a row.
