Sara Gruntowicz scored her fourth goal of the season midway through the first half, but Marymount (Va.) battled back with three goals in a four-minute span in the second half to gain a 3-1 non-conference women's soccer victory over the Fighting Squirrels Tuesday at SMA Worth Field.
Gruntowicz opened the scoring off an assist from
Kendall Carr for a 1-0 MBU halftime lead. Marymount (6-8-3) evened the match in the 73rd minute then added the game-winner 50 seconds later on a pair of shots from 25 yards out, both inside the right post. The Saints added a penalty kick goal three minutes later to complete the scoring.
The visitors outshot MBU 14-7 (8-2 shots on goal). Goalie
Maddy Vinson was credited with five saves in the Fighting Squirrels goal.
Mary Baldwin (2-9-2) returns to its USA South Conference schedule Saturday in the second half of a men's/women's doubleheader at SMA Worth Field. The men's soccer team will play Brevard at noon, followed by the women's team against Pfeiffer at 2:30 p.m. Both MBU teams will be battling for a playoff berth and playoff position in Saturday's matches.
