Emma Sweitzer scored a pair of second-half goals as the second-ranked Misericordia University women's soccer team was forced to come from behind for the just the second time this season in a 3-2 win at Stevens, Saturday afternoon.

Misericordia extended the best start in program history to 14-0-1 and set a new school record with a 15-match unbeaten streak.

Kate Field added a goal for the Cougars who also clinched the top seed in the MAC Freedom Tournament.

Field gave the Cougars a 1[-0 lead just under two minutes into the match, but Stevens answered less than 30 seconds later.

The Ducks went in front four minutes into the second half to set the stage for Sweitzer's heroics.

Michaela Fasolino carried the ball down the right side and played a long ball to Sweitzer near the top of the box where she played a lateral pass to Field, who chipped the ball over the top of the defense inside the right post at 1:54.

Stevens quickly pulled even and the score stood until the Ducks scored off a corner at 49:07.

Sweitzer scored twice in a nine-minute span to lift MU.

Colleen Kinsella threaded a pass between two defenders and found Sweitzer in stride on the right edge of the box.  With the keeper off her line, Sweitzer slotted a shot from 10 yards that caromed the inside of the right post to tie the score, 2-2, at 65:23.

The Cougars notched the game-winner when Brenna Field played a long ball into the left corner when Kaylee Sturans served a pass to Sweitzer, who one-timed by Sweitzer in front at 73:54.

Stevens threatened in the 88^th minute, but their shot was cleared off the line by an MU defender near the left post.

Coach Stauffer's Comments:  "Today was a really good test for us and something we needed as a team to make sure we could handle adversity in all phases of the game. To give up an unfortunate deflection goal in the first half to tie things back up, then go down 1-2 early in the second half, I was proud of our composure and that stayed true to what we do and found a way to get the equalizer. At that point, I felt our intensity improved and allowed us to keep them under pressure and find the winner. Great group effort.  I was proud that we became an even better team today."
