Pacers' MAC Freedom Home Debut Spoiled By Ducks' Second-Half Comeback

Stevens scores twice in three-minute span

Scranton, Pa. — Marywood University was derailed by Stevens Institute of Technology's second-half rally for a 3-2 loss Tuesday in MAC Freedom women's soccer. The Pacers fall to 9-2-1 overall and 1-1-0 in conference play. 

Marywood led 2-0 through 51 minutes before the Ducks began their second-half comeback. Stevens scored twice in a three-minute span for the game-tying and -winning goals. 

Cassidy Tweedie gave Marywood an early lead in the 28th minute. Kyle McDonald's corner kick was headed in for Tweedie to hit with a low header. 

Bonita Brigido scored her first Marywood goal with 1.6 seconds remaining in the first half. Riley Bittenbender sent a long ball forward from centerfield. Brigido one-timed the 1v1 opportunity with a left-footed hit from the 18-yard box. Brigido's shot painted the top-right frame for the 2-0 lead. 

Stevens came out of the halftime break with a resurgence sparked by Hannah Casale's goal in the 52nd minute. Sophia Carr sent a cross that bounced into the box for Casale to turn on it from 6 yards away. 

The Ducks (3-5-3, 2-0-0) one-touched a 40-yard Taylor Truglia free kick with a feet first slide in the 78th minute. Sophia Murphy hit a 30-yard strike for the game-winning goal in the 80th. Malia Chopra's short high pass was settled down and two-touched into the top frame. 

Stevens held Marywood to one shot on target in the second half. 

The Ducks quadrupled the Pacers 20-5 in shots with an 8-3 advantage in shots on target. Stevens had a 7-4 advantage in corners. 

Genevieve Morrison made five saves. 

Marywood looks to get back into the win column on Senior Day on Saturday. The Pacers host Delaware Valley University Saturday at noon.
