For a matchup of future Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) rivals, Chestnut Hill College traveled to Georgian Court University for Tuesday, April 11, afternoon's contest. The Scarlet and Gold proved to be the superior squad, capturing a 22-4 triumph over the Lions. Dambach set the program's all-time mark for assists (7) and points (12) while junior attack Dylan Klusaritz (Slatington, Pa.) rewrote the Griffin record books for goals in a game with his eight tallies. Dambach also recovered a ground ball and caused a turnover in the win.
 
On Saturday, April 15, Chestnut Hill College sent the 2017 senior class off with plenty of fanfare as several graduating Griffins made major roles in a 17-4 East Coast Conference (ECC) win over the visitors form STAC. Senior midfielder Andrew Dooley (Monroe Township, N.J.), senior attack Tanner Fisher (Port Coquitlam, British Columbia), and Dambach were chief among them, but junior attack Dylan Klusaritz (Slatington, Pa.) was the Scarlet and Gold’s leading scorer with four goals.
