Field Hockey Tops Mighty Macs on Senior Day

Scranton, Pa. – For the first time all season, the Marywood University field hockey team was on the other side of a one-goal decision. The Pacers survived a 3-2 victory over Immaculata University Sunday to keep their Colonial States Athletic Conference field hockey playoff hopes intact.

Jenna Dickey scored the game-winning goal for the Pacers. Angela Sanchez and Lindsey Gladden also tallied a goal in the victory.

Liz Ferg and Cassie Stockwell each finished with an assist.

After Immaculata came back from a two-goal deficit, Dickey found the back of the cage on an unassisted score in the 60th minute. Less than two minutes following the Mighty Macs equalizer, Betsy Macko fed a ball inside of the 5-yard line from behind the circle after a penalty corner. Macko's feed was stymied by the Macs, and the ball took a right bounce to set up Dickey's shot from 4 yards out.

Marywood honored its three seniors – Stockwell, Tori Jo Kakusian and Meredith Yozwiak – in a pre-game ceremony.

The Pacers had a torrid start with a seventh minute goal from Gladden. Out of a scrum, Ferg delivered a cross to the far-right side of the cage that enabled Gladden to send it past the goalkeeper.

In the 20th minute, Stockwell generated a Pacers' cager with an assist in her last career home game. Stockwell fired a hard-hit ball to the far corner. Sanchez poked it in for the Pacers' second goal at the line.

Both of the Mighty Macs' goals came from Megan Donegan via Brittany Richards. Donegan scored with just 27 seconds left in the first half on a breakaway chance. She evened the score at 2-2 in the 58th minute when she redirected a Richards feed from outside of the box.

The Pacers once again found themselves by facing a penalty corner with no time left on the clock. Kerri Mountz made a pair of saves before the Marywood defense was able to shuffle the ball out of the circle to clinch the win.

Seven of the Pacers' 10 losses this season had come by just one goal. It was the team's first one goal since beating Misericordia 3-2 in last year's regular season finale.

Mountz finished with three saves. Randie Kuhar stopped 14 for the Mighty Macs.

Natalie Martine finished with a defensive save for the Pacers. Cayla Williams had a defensive save for Immaculata.

Marywood is idle until Saturday when it travels to first-place Gwynedd Mercy University.
