Arlington, Va. (4/10/2024) - Gwynedd Mercy University (4-7, 1-1 AEC) traveled to Atlantic East Conference (AEC) foe Marymount University (4-9, 1-2 AEC) as the Griffins searched for their first conference win of the 2024 season. Both teams exchanged blows in the first two quarters with the Saints leading Gwynedd Mercy 6-4 halfway through the first half. Starting at 3:54 in the second quarter, the Red and Gold would score five unanswered goals and take a 10-6 lead early in the third quarter. Marymount would not go down without a fight as they would bring the game within two (10-8), but the Griffins prevailed and would go on to win their first conference game of the season with a final score of 17-9. Sophomore attacker Josh Devine (Pottstown, Pa.) finished with a game-high five goals with five points and one ground ball, while his brother junior goalkeeper Jared Devine (Pottstown, Pa.) finished with a career-high - and program record - 26 saves in the win (4-7).
