Filchner Scores First Two Collegiate Goals in #3 Griffins' AEC Opening Round Triumph Over #6 Neumann University

Gwynedd Valley, Pa. - (10/30/2021) - Freshman midfielder Laura Filchner (Northampton, Pa.) picked the perfect time for her first two collegiate goals as the her second-half tallies (34:22, 47:05) propelled #3 Gwynedd Mercy University (5-12) to a 2-0 triumph over #6 Neumann University (3-13). The Griffins out shot the Knights 17-1 and owned a 12-0 penalty corner advantage in a scoreless first half. Gwynedd Mercy University continued to dominate the second half action, again pacing Neumann University in shots (14-2) and penalty corners (12-1), but this time cashing in with Filchner's scores.

The first Filchner score was a successful strike of a smart pass out from senior attack Lauren Jani (Coopersburg, Pa.) that came just 4:22 minutes into the second half, 1-0. Two minutes into the fourth quarter (47:05), Filchner made it 2-0 Griffins by completing a pass through the Knight defense from freshman attack Cheyenne Avellino (Egg Harbor, N.J.). Jani led Gwynedd Mercy University in shots with seven, but she was just one of eight Griffins with multiple shots in the their season-high 31-shot effort. Freshman goalkeeper Morgan Lawless (Bristol, Pa.) (5-12) made one save in the victory.

Gwynedd Mercy University advances to the AEC Field Hockey Semifinals and will visit #2 Cabrini University on Wednesday, November 3.
