Hillburn, N.Y. - (4/13/2019) – Today's Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest was decided in the final 15 minutes as Chestnut Hill College built upon an 11-10 lead with a 4-2 fourth-quarter spread that pushed them out of Dominican College's reach in an eventual 15-12 final. Sophomore midfielder Ben Revak (Aston, Pa.) netted a goal at the end of the third quarter (0:35) to give the Griffins the lead for good. Junior attack Scott Wilden (Wexford, Pa.) was the Griffins' top performer with four goals, an assist, and a pair of ground balls.
 
Wilden bookended (11:12, 6:46) a goal from sophomore attack Carson Rees (Port Coquitlam, British Columbia) (2-0, 9:16) to give Chestnut Hill College (7-4, 2-0) an early 3-0 advantage. But Dominican College (2-8, 1-1) evened the playing field over the next six minutes, scoring three consecutive goals of their own to tie the contest at 3-3 with 3:18 remaining in the first quarter. Thanks to two last-minute connections between sophomore attack J.R. Howell (East Meadow, N.Y.) and Wilden (0:54, 0:39), the Griffins emerged from the opening frame with a 5-3 edge. The second quarter saw Chestnut Hill College separate for a 9-3 lead only for the Chargers to recover for a 9-6 halftime spread.
 
After intermission, Dominican College continued their charge, evening the spread at 10-10 with a four-goal rush over the final seven minutes (6:54) of the third quarter. Fortunately, the Griffins' determined will overcame with a 4-2 fourth quarter performance, 15-12.
