Scranton, Pa. - Third-seeded Marywood University won its first-ever Atlantic East Conference field hockey playoff contest with a 4-2 victory over No. 6 Immaculata University on a rainy Monday night.

The Pacers broke open a tied 2-2 game with two goals in the final seven minutes of regulation. Lindsey Quinn put the Pacers ahead in the 64th minute on a ball crossed in from the left perimeter from Jenna Dickey. Quinn converted her shot from 18 yards away and celebrated with a leap in the air.

Qui
nn finished with two goals and an assist for the Pacers. Dickey factored in with a goal and two assists.

Gwyneth Gleason  provided an insurance goal with nine seconds remaining. Dickey drove into the lane from the left side to set up a Gleason tap-in in front of the cage. 17175

Quinn responded in fashion just 86 seconds later. Kenzie Drew crushed a shot from outside of the circle, and Quinn raced in to crash the cage for a chipped in goal to even the score.

Marywood took a one-goal lead in the 44th minute. On this chance, Quinn came in from the right perimeter. Dickey came through with a heads-up play to tap in the goal from the left side.

Immaculata had playoff upset aspirations still in mind on an executed penalty corner play. Willa Thompson deflected a ball served from the right side with assists by Shannon Lozier and Burkholder for the 2-2 equalizer in the 53rd minute.

The Pacers match their winningest season of the 21st century with their 12th victory of the season.

Marywood outshot the Mighty Macs 21-6 with an 11-6 advantage in shots on target. The Pacers had a 13-4 advantage in penalty corners.
