Philadelphia, Pa. - (12/6/2019) – Following Saturday's (December 7) Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest versus Goldey-Beacom College, Head Coach Jim Connolly and the Chestnut Hill College women's basketball team – in collaboration with Team IMPACT – will officially welcome nine-year old Alice Greenleaf of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, to the GriffinNation with a "Draft Day" Ceremony.
 
Immediately following the contest, and surrounded by family, friends, and her new Griffin teammates, Alice will enter Sorgenti Arena in grand fashion before signing her official Letter of Intent at midcourt. As a member of the Scarlet and Gold, Alice - who is battling an immune dysfunction - will work alongside her fellow Griffins, gaining confidence and strength while attending team practices, games, dinners, events, and more.
