Shutout Powers Pauls to CACC Weekly Honor Roll Recognition
New Haven, Conn. – (11/5/2013) – Junior goalkeeper
Samantha Pauls (South Plainfield, N.J.) made the only stop she needed to in order for Chestnut Hill College to secure a 2-0 season finale victory over Goldey-Beacom College on Tuesday, October 29. For her effort she was mentioned for the second straight week on the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Women’s Soccer Weekly Honor Roll. Pauls finished the 2013 regular season with the league second highest save total (135) and tenth best save percentage (.771).
Chestnut Hill College (5-11-1, 5-6-1) built momentum with every second that past as the Griffins squandered several scoring chances before finally finding the Goldey-Beacom College (2-11-1, 1-10-1) goal at 79:11. Senior forward
Carly DiGiovanni (Seaville, N.J.) was a consistent threat for the Griffins, leading the team with nine shots and setting up junior midfielder
Katherine Williams(Pennsauken, N.J.) for a rebound goal with a strike early in the 80th minute. Williams met the carom with a powerful blow that broke the Lightning spirit and encouraged the Griffin offense to more frequent assaults. The extra effort paid off at 83:47, when junior midfielder
Kelly McKenna (Dover, Del.) kicked the ball back to senior defender
Lauren Nolte (Wilmington, Del.), who drove it home from just off the left side. The 2-0 edge was more than enough for the Griffins as they continued to pressure the ball while needing only one save from Pauls to secure the victory.
The women's soccer team finished the 2103 regular season at 5-11-1 overall with Pauls earning each decision.
