GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. -- The Gwynedd Mercy University Field Hockey team suffered a 5-0 loss Tuesday night to nationally-ranked the College of New Jersey.

Goalie Samantha Soscia recorded a season-high 12 saves for the Griffins (4-3) as the ninth-ranked (NFHCA) Lions would score three times in the first half and twice in the second stanza.

TCNJ (4-2) held a 24-2 edge in shots and had a 16-5 corner advantage as well.

Melissa Russo had a couple of opportunities to put GMercyU on the scoreboard but Lions goalies Kelly Schlupp and Christina Fabiano combined for the team shutout.

The Griffins return back to action on Saturday where they'll face another ranked team when they host #10 Montclair State University here at 5 p.m.
