Box Score Waterbury, Conn. - (11/7/2015) – No stranger to overtime heroics, Chestnut Hill College was looking forward to the possibility of an extra frame with regulation time ticking down on a 2-2 tie in today's Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Championship game. But a late Bloomfield College goal by sophomore midfielder Tevin Blake (Savannah la Mar, Jamaica) changed their fate and put the Bears ahead for good in a 3-2 championship final. Senior midfielder Nicholas Jaffe (Sao Paulo, Brazil) continued his torrid offensive play, pointing for a seventh consecutive game with a foot in each of the Griffin goals.
 
Bloomfield College (11-6-2) got started early, gaining the upper hand with goals at 6:40 and 7:45, 2-0; the first was a converted cross from senior midfielder Hugues Douyon (Port-au-Prince, Haiti) to junior forward Rafique Roberts (Portmore Jamaica) and the second a corner kick connection between junior forwards Paulo Claudio (San Paulo, Brazil) and Kareem Kennedy (Colon, Panama). Chestnut Hill College (8-7-3) cut into the Bears lead less than six minutes later on a corner kick of their own. Pressuring the ball deep in the Bears end, Jaffé served the restart to the redirecting head of junior midfielder Nils Fussen (Aachen, Germany), whose nod reenergized the Griffins for a highly competitive conclusion of the opening frame.
 
Yet, the 2-1 spread held until intermission and beyond the 60-minute mark before evening out, 2-2, on a successful Jaffé penalty kick at 61:33. The tally upped the ante and escalated the tension for an epic final 28 minutes (28:27), where offensive assaults were issued by each side until a Blake blast from the left side bounced off junior goalkeeper James Jackson (Sewell, N.J.) and into the open goal at 86:08, 3-2.
 
Blake came off the Bear bench to lead the CACC Champions with four shots while three others recorded at least two strikes in a narrow 13-11 shot advantage. Junior goalkeeper Wilson Cisneros (Bronx, N.Y.) was the winning keeper (9-4-2) with two saves in the contest.
 
The Griffins kept the ball under the direction of Jaffé, who took six of their 11 shots himself, while deferring to Fussen on four, and freshman forward Jason Burns (Douglassville, Pa.) on the other. Jackson made four saves in the loss (8-6-3). Jaffé, junior defenseman Nils Fussen (Aachen, Germany), and sophomore defenseman Joseph McGuigan (Philadelphia, Pa.) earned CACC All-Tournament Team honors.

The Chestnut Hill College men's soccer team concludes a memorable first season under Head Coach Julian Fernandez '11 with an 8-7-3 overall record and a 6-4-2 CACC standing.
