Aggies' Strong Finish Grounds Griffins

Gwynedd Valley, Pa. - (9/30/2023) - Gwynedd Mercy University (1-8) ended their recent three-game homestand with today's noon affair against Delaware Valley University (3-5). The Aggies scored on an early penalty corner (1-0, 7:48), but the contest was tied at halftime thanks to a great individual effort from junior midfielder Laura Filchner (Bath, Pa.). The Griffin captain made a brilliant cut from the left flank to center pitch before burying second goal (1-1, 18:26) of the season in the Aggie cage. Unfortunately, Delaware Valley University capitalized on three fourth quarter scoring opportunities (47:58, 52:27, 59:51) to seize a 4-1 win.

Griffin Highlights
  • Gwynedd Mercy University out shot Delaware Valley University 12-1 in the first half and 15-8 in the full 60.
  • The Griffins also held a 10-6 penalty corner advantage.
  • Gwynedd Mercy University looked for Mackenzie Reed (Philadelphia, Pa.) on their penalty corner chances as the sophomore forward totaled a team-high six shots.
  • Filchner's effort in the midfielder was complimented by the aggressive play of junior Cheyenne Avellino (Egg Harbor Township, N.J.), who offered three shots and spoiled many Aggies advances in the second half.
  • Freshman goalkeeper Nikki Williams (Cinnaminson, N.J.) took the loss (1-7).
Gwynedd Mercy University opens their Atlantic East Conference (AEC) season on Wednesday, October 4, when they visit Manhattanville College for a 4:00 p.m. contest.
