Frostburg, Md. – (2/29/2020) – Before enjoying a well-deserved spring break, Chestnut Hill College visited Frostburg State University for a midafternoon affair. The Bobcats separated from the Scarlet and Gold late in the first half, using a six-goal run to lead 11-4 at halftime and 18-6 at the final horn. Junior midfielder Gab Fanfarillo (Glassboro, N.J.) provided a goal (5-4, 10:18) and an assist (Norwillo, 4-3, 19:28) in the opening period, while senior attack Haley Norwillo (Duryea, Pa.) and freshman midfielder Madyson Schwartz (Philadelphia, Pa.) each scored the second of their two-goal efforts in the closing frame.

Frostburg State University (1-1) scored the first goal of the game, 1-0 (28:08), but Chestnut Hill College (0-3) responded as senior attack Dai Pearson (Pottstown, Pa.) netted a free position goal to tie the contest just minutes later; 1-1 (25:04). Another exchange of tallies followed before the Bobcats broke the pattern with back-to-back scores at 21:01 (3-2) and 20:52 (4-2). Fanfarillo found Norwillo to cut the Frostburg State University lead to 4-3 with 19:28 remaining in the first half, but following a scoring exchange around the 10-minute mark (10:34, 10:18) six straight Bobcat goals earned the home team a 11-4. Frostburg State University capitalized on their midgame advantage with the first three goals of the second half; 14-4 (27:02). Norwillo and Schwartz interrupted the Bobcats' fun with back-to-back Griffin goals at 25:35 (14-5) and 24:17 (14-6), but they were the last scores the Scarlet and Gold would record in an eventual 18-6 (5:49) final.

Freshman attack Lilly Stephens (Urbana, Md.) led the Frostburg State University effort with four goals, two assists, 10 of the Bobcats' 46 shots, and a ground ball. Fellow freshman attack Jordan Kenney (Wilmington, Del.) also scored four goals and recovered a groundball. In goal, junior Teresa Stabler (Rockville, Md.) earned the win (1-1) with a dozen (12) saves and five ground balls.

Norwillo added a ground ball and a caused turnover to her two tallies. Meanwhile, Schwartz paired her two goals with three ground balls, a draw control, and a caused turnover. Fanfarillo's two-point performance (1 goal, 1 assist) came with two ground balls and two draw controls. Freshman midfielder Danielle Vassallo (Hicksville, N.Y.) offered 10 ground balls and six draw controls, while freshman goalkeeper Mel Amador (Cape May, N.J.) took the loss (0-3) despite making 14 saves and grabbing two ground balls.

Chestnut Hill College returns to action on Thursday, March 12, when they host St. Thomas Aquinas College (STAC) in a 12:30 p.m. contest at Victory Field #1.
