Lafayette Hill, Pa. - (9/29/2018) – Sophomore goalkeeper
Paris Banks (Philadelphia, Pa.) held down the Griffin fort with a game-high 17 saves in today's Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest versus Post University. Post University let off 33 shots, while the Griffins created 20 shot attempts of their own. Unfortunately, much like their opponent the Scarlet and Gold could not capitalize off of their opportunities, resulting in the 0-0 double-overtime, tie.
Post University (2-6-2, 2-3-1 CACC) tested Chestnut Hill College's (2-6-1, 1-4-1 CACC) keeper in the first period with 13 shot attempts. Banks' gallant effort allowed for the Griffins to keep the match even as, senior defender
Brianna Ferrell (Newtown Square, Pa.), senior midfielder
Marikate O'Toole (Philadelphia, Pa.), junior midfielder
Sabrina Shinkowitz (Stratford, N.J), freshman forward
Maddie Jimenez (Bensalem, Pa.), and freshman defender
Haley Oneill (Langhorne, Pa.) attacked the net. The first half ended in a 0-0 deadlock as did the second half, despite 10 shots from both sides. The first overtime frame mirrored the first two halves. Post University pressured the Griffin's defense, but Banks stepped up to the challenge saving four of their six shot attempts. The Griffins only offered one shot that was unsuccessful triggering another 10 minutes, 0-0. The final overtime period was no different, ultimately ending the game in a scoreless tie, 0-0.
Sophomore midfielder Fenna Maarse (Hilversum, Netherlands) and freshman defender Katherine Garcia (Bridgeport, Conn.) both led Post University with nine shots, while freshmen defender Gorgi Van Lienen (Palmerston North, New Zealand) logged seven of her own.
Banks' 17 saves tied her for second all-time for most saves in a single game (Samantha Pauls at Adelphi, 9/4/2014). O'Toole totaled six shots, while Jimenez and sophomore forward
Gabby Fanfarillo (Glassboro, N.J.) each totaled three.
Chestnut Hill College's women's soccer team will host a Pack the Place event on Tuesday, October 2, when they host Holy Family University for a 7:00 p.m. CACC contest at Victory Field #1.
