Orangeburg, N.Y. – (10/6/2018) – In the end, Chestnut Hill College only needed one mistake to defeat Dominican College in today's Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest as senior forward
Jason Doherty (Letterkenny Donegal, Ireland) intercepted and scored a pass back to the Charger goalkeeper to give the Griffins a 1-0 triumph. The league victory was the Griffins' second straight by a one-goal margin and evens the team's conference record at 4-4.
Chestnut Hill College (5-7, 4-4) pressured Dominican College (4-8, 5-3) throughout the first half, but was unsuccessful in 13 tries. The Griffins continued to push the issue at the start of the second half. At 51:04, it all paid off as Doherty made a great individual play to steal the ball and break the scoreless stalemate, 1-0. Looking to recover, the Chargers outshot the Griffins the rest of the way. Fortunately, junior goalkeeper
Frank Maniscalco (Philadelphia, Pa.) and the Scarlet and Gold defense was able to keep them at bay and preserve Chestnut Hill College's CACC prize.
Freshman forward Ewan Gray (Middlesbrough, England) led the Chargers with three shots. Two others recorded two apiece, while junior goalkeeper Tyler Doll (St. Louis, Mo.) made 10 saves in the loss (4-8).
Doherty took five shots to deposit the only one that mattered. Junior midfielder
Pedro Dutra (Passos, Brazil) took four shots, while four others took at least two. Maniscalco made the only four saves he needed to in order to earn the win (2-2).
Chestnut Hill College returns to Victory Field #1 on Tuesday, October 9, to host Goldey-Beacom College in a 7:00 p.m. CACC contest.
