Box Score Hillburn, N.Y. – (4/21/2018) – Bringing close to their Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) season, Chestnut Hill College visited Dominican College for this afternoon's league affair. There, the Lady Chargers secured a 4-0 advantage before senior attack
Julia Galantich (Clinton Corners, N.Y.) and junior midfielder
Julia Reinert (Bridgeport, Pa.) awoke the Griffin offense for a 10-4 run to halftime, 10-8, and helped keep the Scarlet and Gold ahead in an eventual 18-15 conclusion. Reinert led Chestnut Hill College with seven points (6 goals, 1 assist), three ground balls, a draw, and two caused turnovers.
After Dominican College's (6-9, 5-4) opening run, unassisted goals from Galantich (4-1, 22:19) and sophomore midfielder
Spencer Fitzgerald (Huntingtown, Md.) (4-2, 20:25) got Chestnut Hill College (10-5, 6-2) back in the fray. Four minutes later, Galantich answered two Lady Charger goals with two of her own (16:12, 15:22) and a little more than a minute later (14:09) a Reinert tally evened the contest at 6-6. But the Griffins did not take the lead immediately as Dominican College scored twice more before a four-goal run installed a 10-8 (0:02) Scarlet and Gold halftime lead. In the second half, Chestnut Hill College initiated each scoring exchange as Fitzgerald (27:12, 23:43, 6:27), Reinert (25:33, 13:03, 7:09), and Galantich (15:39, 14:35) combined for Griffins' eight goals; Reinert's second score ultimately served as the game-winner.
Sophomores, attack Alayna Heegan (North Babylon, N.Y.) and midfielder Jenna Fox (Stony Point, N.Y.) each totaled six points the lead Dominican College. The former added two ground balls, a draw, and a caused turnover to her six goals, while the latter grabbed eight draws to compliment five goals and an assist. Senior goalkeeper Cara Moran (Tomkins Cove, N.Y.) (6-9) made a dozen (12) saves and recovered three ground balls.
Reinert's six scores are a season-high, while her seven points matches a season-high (5 goals, 2 assists) that she established in the Griffins' 19-12 victory over Holy Family University on April 4. Galantich totaled five goals, an assist, a ground ball, a draw, and two caused turnovers, while Fitzgerald finished with four goals, a ground ball, two draws, and a caused turnover. Senior midfielder
Erica McLaughlin (Magnolia, N.J.) (4-3, 17:07), senior midfielder
Hunter Leckonby (Charleston, S.C.) (9-8, 0:15), and sophomore attack
Dai Pearson (Pottstown, Pa.) (10-8, 0:02) were responsible for the other three Griffin goals, while freshman
Shenna Grady (West Chester, Pa.) (1-0) earned her first collegiate win with 10 saves and a ground ball.
While awaiting seeding in the upcoming CACC Women's Lacrosse Championship Tournament, Chestnut Hill College concludes their 2018 regular season tomorrow, Sunday, April 22, with a 12:00 p.m. contest at Roberts Wesleyan College.
