Field Hockey Hosts Mules For Non-Conference Fray

Gwynedd Valley, Pa. - (10/18/2023) - With three games left on their 2023 schedule, Gwynedd Mercy University (2-12) took a break from Atlantic East Conference (AEC) play to host Muhlenberg College (6-8) for an afternoon affair. The Mules broke from the first-quarter silence with four second-quarter scores (20:54, 22:35, 24:34, 27:52) and added to their lead with a pair of second-half goals (32:29, 46:31), before junior midfielder Cheyenne Avellino (Egg Harbor Township, N.J.) got the Griffins on the scoreboard in a 6-1 (57:02) final.

Griffin Highlights
  • The second quarter was truly the separator as a 15-1 shot deficit allowed Muhlenberg College to record four of their six tallies and fuel an eventual 24-11 shot differential.
  • Penalty corners were even at 8-8; the Griffins had six of their chances in the second half.
  • Four Griffins recorded multiple shots, including freshman forward Lillie Uttenriether (Bel Air, Md.) who offered a team-high three strikes.
  • Other than Avellino, junior midfielder Laura Filchner (Bath, Pa.) was the only other Griffin to put a shot on goal. She finished with two shots total.
  • Avellino's score was her first of the season. She put a lead from freshman Hailey Crosby (Afton, N.Y.) home in the 58th minute (57:02).
  • In goal, junior Morgan Lawless (Bristol, Pa.) (27:52) and freshman Nikki Williams (Cinnaminson, N.J.) (32:08) split time. Lawless took the loss (0-2) with seven first-half saves. Williams made five saves in relief.
Gwynedd Mercy University resumes their AEC schedule on Saturday, October 21, when they visit Cabrini University for a 12:00 p.m. contest.
