New Haven, Conn. - (4/23/2018) – After a hat drawing and a coin flip to determine seeding, it has been determined that #3 Chestnut Hill College will host #6 Dominican College in a quarterfinal contest for the upcoming Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Women's Lacrosse Championship Tournament. #4 Caldwell University will host #5 Wilmington University in a preceding CACC Quarterfinal set for 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 24. The postseason contest between the Griffins and Lady Chargers is set for a 7:00 p.m. start at Victory Field #1 with live stats and live video respectively available through GriffinAthletics.com and the Sports at Chestnut Hill College YouTube Channel.

 

Chestnut Hill College (10-6, 7-2) and Dominican College (6-9, 5-4) meet this past weekend for the conclusion of their respective league schedules. 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. Her 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 sophomore midfielder Spencer Fitzgerald (Huntingtown, Md.) 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.
