Box Score Philadelphia, Pa. - (9/8/2019) – Chestnut Hill College opened their 2019-2020 season schedule today, Sunday, September 8, at home with an afternoon match versus Le Moyne College. The short-handed Griffins were playing from behind at the start and scored their only point of the match at number two singles, where senior
Barbara Broville (Toulouse, France) triumphed by a 6-0, 7-5, final.
Chestnut Hill College (0-1) enjoyed a hard-fought 7-6 victory in the top doubles flight thanks to the combined effort of Broville and fellow senior
