Mystics Secure Spot in National Sweet 16
PINE BANKS – Rivers collided in Malden as the Mystics hosted MARFU’s Schuylkill River Exiles. With the Mystics leading 18-0 at the half, the Exiles came out firing with a second half rally, but it just wasn’t enough as tries by Dustin MacPherson, Jamie Green, Jake Sprague, and Joe Shurmaitis along with four penalty goals and three conversions from Mystic skipper Pat Doherty helped the Mystics secure a 38-12 victory, and a spot in the D-1 Sweet 16 tourney in Austin, TX.
