LANGHORNE, PA- In a second straight tough soccer match for the Highlanders, Cairn was dispatched by a score of 9-0 by the Griffins of Gwynedd Mercy University.
 
The Highlanders defense was shocked almost instantly off the tap when the Griffins mounted an impressive attack, sending a cross in front of the goal where it was powered into the net by the Gwynedd Mercy forward only a minute into the contest. The Highlanders defense was tested early, seeing 8 shots in the first 12 minutes of action.  
 
Katie Ruitto had the Highlanders first chance of the afternoon when Sara Haydochuk laid a ball off that the sophomore blasted into the arms of the Gwynedd Mercy keeper.
 
The Griffins tallied their second of the afternoon in the 19^th minute when a cross found the head of charging forward Erin Reitmeyer. Gywnedd Mercy would net two more goals late in the first half as they bombarded the net with 19 first half shots.
 
Courtney Novak had the Highlanders best chance of the first half with a long range effort that was saved at the last second by the Gwynedd Mercy keeper.
 
The Highlanders were susceptible to the Griffins marauding runs down the sideline the entire game as the Griffins put in three more goals on crosses early in the second half. Cairn built some solid play through the middle between midfielders Novak and Ruitto, however, despite their best efforts they could not find the final touch to beat the Griffins keeper.
 
Cairn keeper Mackenzie Paugh gave her best effort in net as the senior saw 27 shots on the night.
 
The Highlanders will hit the pitch again this Saturday at 4 PM when they travel to Cabrini University to face off against the Cavaliers.
