Box Score Lafayette, Pa. – (10/6/2012) – The Chestnut Hill College offense was relentless against Feliciain College in this afternoon's Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest, but only one Griffin found goal as a 23-13 shot advantage precipitated a 1-0 victory. Rebounding a header to the back of the Golden Falcon goal at 16:01, senior midfielder Alexandria Allizzo (Laurel Springs, N.J.) scored the lone goal in a 1-0 Griffin victory.
 
Chestnut Hill College (5-7, 5-2) dictated play at Victory Field #1, pressuring Felician College with every turn. After an initial charge, the Griffins threatened the Golden Falcon goal again at the 16-minute mark. This time, a header from sophomore midfielder Lauren Nolte (Wilmington, Del.) was blocked by a Golden Falcon defender only to be buried in the back of the goal by Allizzo, 1-0 (16:01). Play remained under the Griffins control for the duration of the contest, allowing the home team to win their second straight CACC game in shutout fashion.
 
Sophomore midfielder Jordan Farley (Brick, N.J.) totaled three shots to lead the Golden Falcon offense. Meanwhile, senior goalkeeper Allie Couzo (Sayreville, N.J.) made eight saves behind the defense.
 
Senior forward Kaelyn Pizarro (Berlin, N.J.) and junior midfielder Marykate McShane (Lebanon, Pa.) were the Griffins top shooters with four apiece, but Allizzo was the only player to find goal, do so on three shots. Senior goalkeeper Jessica Veazey (Middletown, Del.) made four saves to earn her fourth win (4-6) of the season.
 
The women's soccer team takes their CACC schedule on the road this week, as they travel to Philadelphia University on Tuesday, October 9, for a 3:30 p.m. contest.
