Yildirim's Two Late Tallies Allow Griffins To Defeat Nittany Lions 3-2

Reading, Pa. - (10/7/2023) - Gwynedd Mercy University (2-5-4) battled non-conference opponent Penn State Berks (2-6-2). After trailing 2-1 with just a little over eight minutes to go into the game junior forward Mert Yildirim (Levittown, Pa.) had two late tallies (72:49, 77:41) just shy of five minutes from each other to allow the Griffins to escape with a win over the Nittany Lions 3-2. 
 
Griffin Highlights:
  • Senior midfielder captain Mike Fienman (Philadelphia, Pa.) opened the scoring for both teams just 2:32 into the game netting his second in his senior season. 
  •  Yildirim's first goal to tie things two a piece (2-2) was his first of the season and finished with a game-high three shots. 
  • Both teams were evenly matched the entire match as the teams finished with 11 shots a piece. 
  • Freshman goalkeeper Kevin Kretschman (Glenside, Pa.) started the first 45 minutes of the contest and finished with three saves, while graduate goalkeeper captain John Wagner (Phoenixville, Pa.) played the final 45 minutes in net and was rewarded with the win (2-3-2). 
 
Gwynedd Mercy University is back in action on Monday, October 9, when they travel to take on FDU-Florham for a 7:00 p.m. kickoff.
