Gannon struck first with a goal from Courtney Rowan in the 12th minute to give the Knights an early 1-0 lead. Twenty minutes later, Lakers' sophomore Taylor Hilinski evened the score at one off of pass from junior Sarah Powell.

Mercyhurst out-shot the Knights 18-8 and earned nine corner kick opportunities to Gannon's two. Junior Rebecca Heintzman had one save on the match.

The Mercyhurst Lakers are set to compete in the GLIAC Championships on Friday and Sunday at Grand Valley State.
