New Haven, Conn. - (2/17/2020) – Chestnut Hill College opened the 2020 season with much fanfare as the Griffins disposed of the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) by a 27-11 in Saturday’s (February 15) meeting. Several Griffins enjoyed several noteworthy performances as the Scarlet and Gold swept the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Men’s Lacrosse Weekly Awards. Junior attack Maurice Kelly (Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta) garnered the CACC Player of the Week award with nine points (4 goals, 5 assists) and two ground balls in his Griffin debut. Meanwhile, sophomore Jake Miller (Castle Rock, Colo.) (26:40 minutes) totaled nine saves and three ground balls in his first game as a member of the Scarlet and Gold en route to the CACC Rookie and Goalkeeper of the Week titles. Senior defenseman Jordan Jeznach (Reading, Pa.) was named the CACC Defensive Player of the Week after reporting an assist, four ground balls, and three caused turnovers in the victory.
 
Chestnut Hill College (1-0) came out firing in its first game of 2020, setting the program record for most goals scored in a single game, in a 27-11 victory over UDC (1-1).
