Wilmington, Del. - (9/24/2019) – Chestnut Hill College continued their Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) schedule today, Tuesday, September 25, with a late-afternoon contest at Goldey-Beacom College. The Lightning were first on the scoreboard (0-1, 7:05), but a cross into the box from freshman forward Luciano Torres (Tucuman, Argentina) at 41:30 found sophomore midfielder David Cortez (Wilkes-Barre, Pa.) for a game-tying goal (1-1, 41:30). Unfortunately, the Griffins were not able to keep pace with the Lightning in the second half as Goldey-Beacom College netted three more tallies in an eventual 4-1 final.
 
Chestnut Hill College (2-2-1, 1-1) had the first couple opportunities of the contest as senior defenseman Paris Bruhn (Horst Holstein, Germany) lined up corner kicks at 2:08 and 4:33. Regrettably, both sailed through the box without a Griffin connecting on a shot. Conversely, Goldey-Beacom College (4-3, 2-0) made the most of their first chance, capitalizing on a corner kick at 5:53 with a successful cross at 7:05 (0-1). The Scarlet and Gold looked to recover in the minutes that followed, but they were not able to even the score until Torres and Cortez connected midway through the 42^nd-minute (1-1, 41:30). Play remained tied into the second half, but only temporarily as the Lightning struck on three consecutive shots at 56:30 (1-2), 62:15 (1-3), and 65:00 (1-4).
 
Senior midfielder Levi Maruca (Downingtown, Pa.) provided the assists on all three of the Goldey-Beacom College second half goals, but the first Lightning goal came off a cross into the box from junior defenseman Ethan Maguire (Sydney, Australia) to sophomore forward Josh Moody (Townsend, Del.). Sophomore midfielder Eduardo Coimbra (Curitiba, Brazil) led Goldey-Beacom College in shots, taking four en route to recording the game-winning goal (1-2, 56:30). Junior goalkeeper Cole Lewis (Middletown, Del.) made one save in the win (4-2).
 
The Scarlet and Gold paced Goldey-Beacom College in shots (12-10) and corner kicks (12-4). Cortez offered a team-high four shots; senior midfielder Pedro Dutra (Passos, Brazil) (3 shots) and Torres (2) also offered multiple attempts. Senior goalkeeper Frank Maniscalco (Philadelphia, Pa.) recorded one save in the loss (2-1-1).
 
Chestnut Hill College returns to Victory Field #1 on Saturday, September 28, to continue their CACC schedule with a 3:00 p.m. contest versus Caldwell University.
