Greyhounds Outlast Griffins in OT Thriller

Gwynedd Valley, Pa. - (9/25/2024) - Gwynedd Mercy University (2-7) hosted Moravian University (2-6) under the lights in a hotly contested battle.  After Leany Santana (Wilmington, De.) scored the first goal (9:04) of the game with an assist by Laura Filchner (Bath, Pa.), the Greyhounds struck back with a tally of their own netted by Sydney Anderson (27:47).  The Griffins defense held steady for the next two quarters, making adjustments and holding strong during seven penalty corners in the second half alone.  With just 2:24 left in OT, Moravian was able to convert the fourth of four corners into a goal after a great save by Kelly Weaver (Flemington, N.J.).

Griffin Highlights
  • Santana's goal marks her fourth this season
  • Cheyenne Avellino (Egg Harbor Township, N.J.) made a critical defensive save in the first quarter.
  • Further proving a strong defensive effort, the Greyhounds shot 12 times total.
  • Freshman goalkeeper Kelly Weaver (Flemington, N.J.) played the entire game for the Griffins with three saves.
Gwynedd Mercy University will return to the Athletic Complex on Saturday, September 28, when they host Randolph-Macon College in a 12:00 p.m. contest.
