Scranton, Pa. - The University of Scranton scored three second half goals to break open a 1-0 game at the half and went on for a 4-0 win over Marywood University Wednesday evening in non-conference women's soccer action. The Royals moved to 3-1-1 with the win while the Pacers fall to 0-4-1.

Brittany Uricchio one-timed a low cross from Kelly Pompey in the 15th minute of action to put the Royals up early.

Marywood held even the rest of the half, limiting Scranton to just five shots in the stanza.

A early second half penalty kick was called against the Pacers in the 51st effort, and despite Aly Moyer's best efforts and getting a hand on the ball, Erica Licari put home the PK to double the visitor's lead.

Nearly eight minutes later Licari found a streaking Jamie Hreniuk in front of the net to make it 3-0 in favor of Scranton.

The Royals closed the scoring in the 86th minute when Meredith D'Angelo one-timed home a Kelly Egan corner kick.

Scranton had a 20-3 advantage in shots for the game (10-1 on goal).  Moyer finished with a game-high six stops. Colleen Barry (one save) got the win in the net after playing one half while Danielle Maurice did not have to make a stop in the second half.

Marywood will open CSAC play Tuesday when they host Cairn University at 7:00 pm. The game was originally slated to occur this Saturday in Langhorne but got moved to Scranton to accommodate the Highlanders.
