Scranton, PA - Marywood University field hockey held Susquehanna scoreless throughout the first half until the Crusaders rattled off two second half goals to defeat the Pacers 2-0 Wednesday in Scranton. The Pacers (0-6) were outshot by the Crusaders 16-9 and faced a 10-2 disadvantage in penalty corners.

Kathryn Morin missed a penalty shot opportunity to go ahead 13:44 into the contest. Morin went high-left and hit the inside post on the Pacers' best scoring opportunity of the game.

Susquehanna (5-2) broke the stalemate 5:13 into the second half. Tessa Woodring struck a ball from the sidelines to Katherine Millet, who hammered it into the goal from eight yards away for a 1-0 Crusader lead.

Five minutes later, the Crusaders gave themselves cushion with a goal by Lauren Cram. Carlyn Thompson connected on a shot off a penalty corner that was kick-saved by goalkeeper Natalie Winters. The ball went off Winters' left pad to Cram, who poked it in for Susquehanna's second goal of the game.

Winters finished with eight saves.

Marywood hosts another Landmark Conference program when it faces Moravian College Saturday at 3:00 pm.
