Lafayette Hill, Pa. - (9/21/2019) – Senior midfielder Pedro Dutra (Passos, Brazil) was all over the field in a hat-trick performance that saw him score Chestnut Hill College's first (1-0, 13:33), third  (3-1, 44:48), and fifth goals (5-2, 89:51) in a 5-2 win over Nyack College. A perfectly played corner from senior defenseman Paris Bruhn (Horst Holstein, Germany) found Dutra's head for the first goal of the contest just 13:33 after kickoff. His second was another header, this one completing a cross from senior defender Stephen Finore (Broomall, Pa.). The last came unassisted as Dutra dribbled down the near sideline and scored with just nine seconds (89:51) remaining in the contest.
 
Chestnut Hill College (2-1-1, 1-0) moved the ball well on Nyack College (0-3-2, 0-1) and an early corner gave Bruhn a golden opportunity to give the Griffins an edge. At 13:33, Bruhn played the restart to the far post, where a perfectly positioned Dutra nodded the ball for the contest's opening tally (1-0). The Warriors erased the Scarlet and Gold lead at 21:02, using an odd-man rush to outmaneuver the Griffin defense (1-1). A little more than six minutes later (27:35), senior midfielder Mo Ehmer (Surrey, England) drew a foul in the Warrior goal box to earn a penalty kick. He converted the opportunity return Chestnut Hill College to the lead (2-1). The Griffin lead increased to two goals just 12 second before halftime (44:48), when Finore directed the ball to Dutra for another successful header (3-1). In the second half, Nyack College looked to rally with a goal on a ball from freshman midfielder Erwin Bendl (Bad Voeslau, Austria) that sent senior forward Joshua Schliesing (Zermatt, Switzerland) around the Chestnut Hill College defense for a goal at 67:30 (3-2). But, the Griffins had too much firepower as an Ehmer header and a cross from Cesar May Casteneda (Exton, Pa.) set up sophomore midfielder David Cortez (Wilkes-Barre, Pa.) for a goal just after the 75-minute mark (4-2, 75:01), and Dutra's third tally (89:51) extended the Chestnut Hill College margin of victory to 5-2.
 
Sophomore midfielder Javier Fernandez (Villaviciosa de Odon, Spain) led Nyack College with five shots and a goal (1-1, 21:02). Junior forward Mitchell Reed (Toms River, N.J.) provided the help on Fernandez's score. Freshman goalkeeper Jose Perez Piqueras (Madrid, Spain) made three saves in the loss (0-3-2).

Dutra got plenty of help keeping the Nyack College defense busy as his six shots were complimented by multi-shot efforts from Cortez (4) and freshman forward Luciano Torres (Tucuman, Argentina) (3). Ehmer, junior forward Miguel Marra (Ossining, N.Y.), and senior defenseman Connor Bethel (Hartsville, Pa.) provided the other three Chestnut Hill College shots. In goal, senior Frank Maniscalco (Philadelphia, Pa.) gave a stellar effort with several key stops in a six-save effort that earned him his second win (2-0-1) of the season.      
 
Chestnut Hill College continues their CACC schedule on Tuesday, September 23, with a 4:15 p.m. contest at Goldey-Beacom College.
