Box Score Newark, Del. – (10/16/2012) – In a highly combative Central Atlantic Collegiate College (CACC) affair, Wilmington University was the victor on their home field, 3-0, as they held Chestnut Hill College to only three shots amongst their 20. The Wildcats scored their first tally just before the 30-minute mark (29:48) and backed it twice in the second half, once off a corner kick (64:08) and once on an open goal (77:35).
 
A more opportunistic Wilmington University (8-7, 4-5) managed to grab a late 1-0 first-half lead when freshman defenseman Lance Berry (Bear, Del.) converted a free kick restart from 25-yards out on the left flank at 29:48, 1-0. Chestnut Hill College (5-10-1, 3-6) held the Wildcats to the one-goal lead until midway through the second half, as senior midfielder Kresimir Nurnberger (Zagreb, Croatia) found the head of junior forward Otis Williams (London, England) on a corner kick at 64:08, 2-0. Another Wildcat insurance goal came at 77:35, when freshman forward Reafe Anderson (Brampton, Ontario) put senior midfielder Zach Hinte (Virginia Beach, Va.) in front of an open goal halfway through the 78th-minute (77:35).
 
Williams was one of three Wildcats tied with three shots. In goal, sophomore goalkeeper Spyros Stergiotis (Oakville, Ontario) made one save in the winning effort.
 
Junior forward Darryl Richardson Jr. (Washington Township, N.J) and freshmen, defenseman Tristan Johns (Mamora, N.J.) and forward Dominic Pernice (Rehoboth Beach, Del.) were the only Griffins to get off a shot; Pernice's shot was saved. Senior goalkeeper Michael Goldstein (Pennsauken, N.J.) made five saves in the loss (2-4).
 
The men's soccer team completes their CACC road schedule with a trip to Dominican College on Saturday, October 20. An early kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 a.m.
