Scranton, PA - Kathryn Morin scored two of Marywood's three second half goals as the Pacers came back from a 2-0 deficit to down Immaculata University 3-2 in a key Colonial States Athletic Conference field hockey game Saturday afternoon in Scanton. The Pacers, who also got a goal from Julie Kowalski, improve to 4-11 and 3-2 in CSAC play while Immaculata fell to 5-10 and was handed their first league loss of the year (3-1).

Immaculata took a 1-0 lead with just over two minutes left in the opening half as Tiffany Lockfeld found Ashley O'Donnell for the game's first goal. The Mighty Macs would carry that 1-0 lead into the break and then go up 2-0 when Lindsay Cras scored on a penalty corner just 2:20 into the second half off a helper from Patsy Murphy.

The Marywood comeback started in the 53rd minute when Morin scored on an assist from Sarah Hindman.  Just over eight minutes later, Julie Kowalski tied the game on an unassisted goal. 

With just under four minutes to play, Morin found the game winner when she dribbled in from 25 yards out and fired a shot from just inside the arc that found the back of the cage for the game-winner.

Natalie Winters made four saves in the win for the Pacers.

Marywood returns to action next Saturday at Gwynedd Mercy University.  Game time against the Griffins is set for 4:00 pm in Gwynedd Valley.
