Delaware Valley 4, Marymount University
1
DOYLESTOWN (PA) - Freshman Ana Mecaj scored two goals and added
an assist as Delaware Valley College snapped a two-game losing streak
with a 4-1 home victory over Marymount University in a non-conference
game.
Mecaj and fellow freshman Dana Ronyack helped give the Aggies (7-6)
a 2-0 lead less than nine minutes into the contest. Ronyack took
a feed from Mecaj and deposited her third goal of the season just
3:41 into the game. Then it was Ronyack's turn to set up Mecaj,
who beat Saint goalkeeper Stephanie Kerr with 36:51 left in the
first half.
Marymount (3-11) made it a 2-1 ballgame just 3:58 before halftime
as Lauren Costar's corner kick caromed off the far post and into
the net.
It stayed a one-goal game for the next 34 minutes before Mecaj was
dragged down in the box for a penalty kick. Senior Tara Corkery
took the free opportunity and blasted home her fifth goal of the
season and the 28th of her career. She is just one goal behind 2001
graduate Stacy Richenderfer for second place on the Aggie all-time
goals list.
Mecaj put the icing on the cake with 1:40 left as she took a pretty
pass from Katie Leach and scored her team-best 11th goal of the
season. The rookie also leads Delaware Valley in points with 25.
Delaware Valley outshot the Saints, 19-11, in the contest. Lindsay
Eversole made 10 saves for her seventh win of the season while Stephanie
Kerr made nine stops for Marymount.
