Box Score Philadelphia, Pa. - (10/25/2016) – With the eighth seed in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Championship Tournament on the line, Chestnut Hill College traveled down Henry Avenue for a 2:30 p.m. league game at Ravenhill Field. After an early Ram goal (13:58) the Griffins spent a majority of the contest searching for the equalizer. Senior defenseman Joseph McGuigan (Philadelphia, Pa.) scored it at 49:19, glancing a corner restart from junior midfielder Vini Brito (Sao Paulo, Brazil) off his back and into the Philadelphia University goal. The stalemate endured regulation, allowing a header from junior defenseman Valdo Jean-Baptiste (Guadeloupe, France) to end the contest at 95:17 in the home team's favor, 2-1.
 
Chestnut Hill College (5-10, 4-8) offered the contest's first two shots just after the eight-minute mark, but Philadelphia University (6-9-2, 5-6-1) achieved the afternoon's first set piece and made use of it with a tap to goal from sophomore midfielder Devon Memis (Ambler, Pa.) at 13:58 (1-0). Evenly matched, the Griffins and Rams traded possessions for the remainder of the first half. After intermission, the Scarlet and Gold controlled the initial action and used a pair of corner kick restarts to tie the contest at 49:19 (1-1). Brito found McGuigan for the excuse-me goal, sliding his serve down the defenseman's back for a redirection and the game-tying goal.
