Box Score Waterbury, Conn. - (11/15/2016) – This evening's Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Quarterfinal at the Drubner Center featured #4S Chestnut Hill College and #1N Post University. The Eagles made efficient use of their time with a 3-0 (25-16, 25-19, 25-14) victory over the Griffins. They advance to the CACC Semifinals, which will be held at Wilmington University on Saturday, November 12. The Griffins were led by senior middle hitter Emily Koehler (Bath, Pa.) and senior libero Regina Trabosh (Norristown, Pa.), who respectively headlined the Scarlet and Gold offense - with seven kills – and defense – with 18 digs.
 
Post University (26-4, 17-2) lived up to their billing, hitting .291 (48K-14E-117TA), scoring six aces, and uniting for three blocks. They hit their best, .350 (17K-3E-40TA), in the first set, spotting Chestnut Hill College (13-16, 11-8) a 13-9 advantage before finishing them off with the last 11 points of the frame, 25-16 (1-0). The Eagles carried the momentum into the second set, where they established an 8-2 lead only for a Griffin timeout to spark the Scarlet and Gold for a 7-3 run that narrow the margin to two points, 11-9. But that was as close as Chestnut Hill College would get as Post University paced them to a 25-19 final (2-0). The Griffins held an early 5-4 advantage in the third set, unfortunately it was a short-lived achievement as the Eagles streaked to 9-5, 15-8, and 23-11 leads before ending the quarterfinal on a 25-14 final.
