New Haven, Conn. – (9/24/2012) – Junior midfielder
Carly DiGiovanni (Seaville, N.J.) earned her second straight honorable mention for the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Women’s Soccer Player of the Week title after having a part in each of Chestnut Hill College’s goals in a 3-1 win at Goldey-Beacom College on Wednesday, September 19. The Griffins finished the week 1-1 after a 4-0 loss at Caldwell College on Saturday, September 22.
Chestnut Hill College (3-5, 3-1) ran their CACC win streak to three on Wednesday, September 19, as they left Goldey-Beacom College with a 3-1 victory. DiGiovanni recorded two goals and an assist in the win; heading the Griffins first tally and rebounding a strike for the Griffins last score. In between, she helped senior midfielder
Shannon Catts (Elmer, N.J.) locate sophomore forward
Alexis LeDonne (Williamstown, N.J.) for the eventual game-winner. DiGiovanni completed a cross from junior defender
Stephanie Litty (Marlton, N.J.) at 17:30 to give the Griffins the initial lead, but it was the effort of sophomore goalkeeper
Samantha Pauls (South Plainfield, N.J.) and the defense that allowed the Griffins to hold their one-goal advantage. Just before the break, the Griffins welcomed an insurance goal from LeDonne, who scored a strike off a Catts-DiGovanni throw-in and flick at 43:07, 2-0. Following intermission, a fortunate bounce at 74:45 allowed the Lightning to cut the lead to 2-1, but the tension was soon relieved on a DiGiovanni rebound goal at 82:17, 3-1. DiGiovanni leads the Griffins in points this season, totaling 16 on seven goals and two assists. She ranks second in the CACC for both points (16) and goals (7).
