EMMITSBURG, Md. (October 26, 2024) –
Kayla Pennington scored for the second time in three contests as Mount St. Mary's battled Merrimack Saturday. The goal equalized the match, but the visiting Warriors rallied to score twice more and capture a 3-1 victory.
Open play was the theme of the game, as the sides combined for 35 shots. Merrimack edged the Mount 19-16 in shots, with seven on target to the Mount's six.
Pennington's goal came on a corner kick from
Nathalie Mejia, occurring seconds into the second half. Fighting down 1-0, Mejia struck the ball graduate student to graduate student, and the right foot of Pennington finished the job.
Five minutes later, Merrimack converted on a free kick with a goal from Caleigh Christensen. In the 64
th minute, Isabella Keogh further dampened the Mount's spirit by dribbling the ball to the center of the box and scoring. Ella Cormier accounted for Merrimack's first half score.
Saturday's match concluded the home slate for the Mountaineers. The team went 4-4-2 in contests at Waldron Family Stadium this year.
Wednesday (Oct. 30) rounds out the regular season with a game against the Rider Broncos. A 7 p.m. kickoff is scheduled in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
