Mighty Macs Escape Griffins' Grasp in 3-2 Overtime Finish

Gwynedd Valley, Pa. - (10/11/2023) - After being first on the scoreboard, Gwynedd Mercy University (2-10, 1-2) evened tonight's Atlantic East Conference (AEC) contest with Immaculata University (5-8, 2-1) on an early fourth-quarter connection between freshman midfielder Lillie Uttenriether (Bel Air, Md.) and junior midfielder Laura Filchner (Bath, Pa.). Following a scoreless first overtime, the Mighty Macs escaped the Griffins' grasp with a tip-in at the goal's mouth in the 76th minute; 3-2 (75:47).
