Box Score Lincoln University, Pa. - (10/27/2017) – The 2017 Chestnut Hill College women's soccer season came to a close under the Friday-night lights of Lions Stadium as the Griffins visited The Lincoln University for this evening's concluding contest. Junior midfielder Marikate O'Toole (Philadelphia, Pa.) found freshman forward Gabby Fanfarillo (Glassboro, N.J.) for the Scarlet and Gold's first and eventual game-winning goal at 18:29 as a Lion own goal (39:09) only provided Chestnut Hill College insurance in a 2-0 victory.
 
Chestnut Hill College (4-13) and The Lincoln University (6-10) traded a series of shots before O'Toole fired an attempt at sophomore goalkeeper Lena Rodriguez (Lockport, Ill.) (17:36). The Lion keeper made that stop, but a little less than a minute later O'Toole threatened again, this time locating Fanfarillo for her second goal of the season, 1-0 (18:29). The Griffins continued to pressure the Lion defense after the initial tally with O'Toole, Fanfarillo, and senior defender Kylee Jazikoff (Brick, N.J.) peppering the Rodriguez until an aggressive play by senior forward Julianna Casasanto (Philadelphia, Pa.) forced The Lincoln University to put it in their own net at 39:09 (2-0).
 
Desperate for a goal, the Lions outshot the Griffins 11-8 in the second half. But senior goalkeeper Meghan Guagenti (Pennsauken, N.J.) and the Scarlet and Gold defense was up to the task. She made seven of her 11 saves in the concluding frame, preserving her only shutout of the season.
 
Junior forward Diana Martinez (Kissimee, Fla.) took nine of The Lincoln University's 19 shots while Rodriguez recorded 15 saves in the loss (6-10).
 
The Griffins' 26-19 shot advantage was their only one of the season. The 26 shots were a season high as well. Jazikoff provided six of them, O'Toole took five, Fanfarillo and senior midfielder Kiersten Cobb-Wilkins (Lowman, N.Y.) offered four, Casasanto three, senior forward Morgan Ruth (Blackwood, N.J.) another two, and sophomore defender Geena DiRugeris (Woodbury, N.J.) and sophomore defender Elizabeth McCormick (Philadelphia, Pa.) the other two. Guagenti's double-digit save effort is her fourth of the season. She finishes her collegiate career fourth all-time on the Griffins' save list with 184.
 
The Chestnut Hill College women's soccer team finishes the 2017 season 4-13 overall and 3-9 in CACC play.
