La Plume, PA - Kimberly Vogan scored a pair of goals to lead Marywood University to a 3-0 victory over Keystone College in the regular season finale for both teams on Thursday afternoon. The Pacers will head into next week's CSAC playoffs as the #4 seed with a 7-3-1 mark in Colonial States Athletic Conference play while the Giants close the 2014 campaign with a 5-9-3 (3-5-3 CSAC) record.

Marywood (7-10-1 overall) took a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute of Thursday's contest when Vogan took a short pass from Brianna Bruster and ripped a left-footed shot from 30 yards out just inside the far post. Despite being outshot 8-1 over the opening 45 minutes of play, Keystone was able to hold its deficit at just one goal heading into halftime thanks to three first half saves from goalkeeper Katelyn Coon.

With their lone shot of the first half being a harmless effort from long range in the closing seconds of the period, Keystone nearly pulled level just over three minutes into the second half when Jenna Moranski settled a cross from Jem Crockford before placing her shot just wide of the target.

Marywood was able to capitalize at the other end moments later, as Vogan netted her second goal of the game, taking a feed from Alixandria Fiore and beating Coon over the top from 35 yards out in the game's 51st minute.

Keystone looked to draw back to within a goal with just under 26 minutes remaining in regulation, but Marywood goalkeeper Victoria Pezdirtz made a nice diving stop to deny Moranski's shot from the top of the box. The Pacers would cap the scoring in the 88th minute when Jordan Salgado slid to tap a low cross from Krista Capelli into an empty net with Elizabeth Carlson also picking up an assist on the goal.

Marywood finished the afternoon with a 19-4 advantage in shots including a 9-2 edge in shots on goal. The Pacers claimed a narrow, 2-1 edge in corner kicks as well.

Pezdirtz picked up the win in goal for the visitors after making two saves in the full 90 minutes of action. Coon finished the game with six saves.

Marywood will host Rosemont College in first round playoff action on Monday at a time to be determined.
