Lafayette Hill, Pa. - (4/12/2021) – Breaking from an extended layoff, Chestnut Hill College welcomed Holy Family University to Victory Field #1 for tonight's Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest. The Tigers controlled the early action, establishing a 5-0 advantage before senior midfielder Gab Fanfarillo (Glassboro, N.J.) scored the first of her two goals on a free position shot (5-1, 20:52).

Fanfarillo answered with an unassisted score at 25:06, 10-2, only for Holy Family University to outscore the Griffins 5-1 over the next 13 minutes, 15-3 (11:59). Chestnut Hill College capped the contest with fleeting scores from sophomore midfielder Danielle Vassallo (Hicksville, N.Y.) (15-4, 4:12) and freshman midfielder Molly Killion (Philadelphia, Pa.)
