Box Score Rockville Centre, N.Y. - (4/18/2017) – Tonight's non-conference action brought Chestnut Hill College to Molloy College, where the Lions defended their home field with a 19-10 victory over the Scarlet and Gold. The Griffin effort was balanced in defeat as four reported multiple points; senior midfielder Rachel Perry (Gilbertsville, Pa.) scored three goals, while senior attack Jacklyn O'Leary (East Meadow, N.Y.) and junior attack Julia Galantich (Clinton Corners, N.Y.) offered two goals and an assist apiece.
 
Chestnut Hill College (5-10) was playing catch up after affording Molloy College (10-4) a 3-0 head start. Galantich broke up the shutout at 20:27 with an unassisted score, 3-1. The real Scarlet and Gold response came a little latter with free position goals from O'Leary (4-2 at 13:51), Galantich (4-3 at 9:38), and Perry leaving the Griffins behind 5-4 with 5:58 remaining in the first half. Unfortunately, Perry's goal was the Griffins' last of the period as the Lions separated for a 9-4 halftime lead before eventually claiming a nine-goal, 19-10, victory.
 
Senior midfielder Cooper Sesselman (Lindenhurst, N.J.) headlined the Lions' half of the box score with seven goals, two assists, a ground ball, and a caused turnover. Sophomore attack Brianna Wilson (Levittown, N.Y.) was her top supporter with four goals, an assist, a ground ball, seven draws, and a caused turnover. In goal, sophomore Alyssa Chetti (West Babylon, N.Y.) (10-4) made six saves and two ground balls.
 
O'Leary and Galantich combined for an additional total of two ground balls and seven draw controls. Freshman midfielder Mary Kroppe (Wyomissing, Pa.) was a factor as well with three ground balls, a draw, and two caused turnovers. Sophomore midfielder Julia Reinert (Bridgeport, Pa.) added two goals, two ground balls, and a caused turnover. Senior goalkeeper Katie Joe Lang (Manassas, Va.) (5-8) made 12 saves and recovered a ground ball.
 
Chestnut Hill College returns to their Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) schedule on Saturday, April 22, for their 2017 regular season finale, which is scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. opening draw at Nyack College.
