Box Score Philadelphia, Pa. - (12/2/2017) – A season and career-high 29 points from senior guard Vicky Tumasz (North Wales, Pa.) solidified today's 77-53 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) win over Goldey-Beacom College. Chestnut Hill College had a few close calls along the way, but with Tumasz's spectacular offensive performance, double figure scoring performances from sophomore guard Cailey Gibson (Marlton, N.J.) and Cassie Sebold (Willow Grove, Pa.), and a suffocating Scarlet and Gold defensive effort that forced the Lightning into 34 turnovers, the Griffins were able to clear Goldey-Beacom College without much trouble.
 
Chestnut Hill College (4-3, 1-0) entertained Goldey-Beacom College (2-7, 0-1) in the early going, trailing the visitors 16-14 (1:38) before consecutive baskets from junior forward Jaeda Wildgoose (Somerset, N.J.) and Tumasz ended the quarter in the Griffins' favor, 18-16. In the second quarter, the Lightning briefly regained their advantage, 21-20 (6:11), only to fall behind by 10 points; Chestnut Hill College's run was sparked on a layup from sophomore forward Shannon Glenn (Philadelphia, Pa.), and spurred on by a pair of three point baskets from Gibson, 29-21 (2:36), until a Sebold pushed the difference to double digits, 31-21 at 1:55. By halftime the spread reached 13 points, 37-24, on a final possession three from Tumasz. At the start of the second half, the Griffins maintained their defensive intensity, holding the Lightning to just 10 points in the third quarter, 58-34.
