Box Score Lafayette Hill, Pa. – (9/15/2012) – Three unassisted scores and a solid performance in goal from sophomore David Sullivan (Kutztown, Pa.) earned Chestnut Hill College their first Central Atlantic Collegiate College (CACC) victory of the season, as the Griffins shutout Concordia College (NY) in a 3-0 victory. Sophomore forward Patrick Steger (La Plata, Md.) and junior midfielder Mushe Wamulume (Media, Pa.) scored the Griffins a 2-0 halftime lead, before junior forward Darryl Richardson Jr. (Washington Twp., N.J.) added the afternoon's final tally at 71:12.
 
Chestnut Hill College (2-3-1, 1-1) made better use of their opportunities on goal, holding Concordia College (NY) (1-5-1, 0-3-1) scoreless while recording three unassisted tallies despite a 15-14 shot deficit. The Griffins attacked first, but play evened out before Steger broke the silence at 40:16 by successfully deflecting a shot off a Clipper defenseman, 1-0. The Griffins wasted no time adding to their lead, as Wamulume scored the home team's second goal only 1:21 later, 2-0. After halftime, the Clippers forced the issue with an offensive barrage, but Sullivan and the Griffin defense denied them any accomplishment. A third Griffin goal came at 71:12; this one came off the foot of Richardson and buried the Clippers behind a 3-0 Griffin advantage. The lead would hold until the final horn to earn the Griffins their first conference win.
 
Junior midfielder Victor Ruiz (Gijon, Spain) led the Clipper effort with five shots while freshman goalkeeper Ruel Gordon (Savanna Del Mar, Jamaica) made four saves in the loss (1-4-1).
