Box Score

Scranton, PA - Ryan Jones scored on a direct kick from just outside the 18 yard box 1:34 into the first overtime period to give host Marywood University a 1-0 win over Philadelphia Biblical University in the CSAC opener for both squads.  Marywood improves to 3-1 with the win while PBU falls to 2-4.

Marywood dominated the match in regulation but could not find the back of the net.  Depsite out-shooting the Crimson Eagles 28-4 on the day, PBU keeper Dave Shaffer stiffled the Pacers' attack eight times.  Jared El Gayeh kept the game scoreless at the other end, stopping two PBU shots to force overtime.  Marywood also held a 17-1 advantage in corners.

Just 1:34 into the first extra frame, Marywood was awarded a direct kick about 22-yards out on the right side of the 18-yard box.  Jones' left-footed drive snuck past the wall and into the lower far post netting for the game-winner, his first tally of the year.

Marywood returns to the field Wednesday night when they travel to Radnor to face CSAC foe Cabrini College at 7:00 pm.
