oldey-Beacom Men’s Soccer Falls Just Short in 3-2 Loss to Chestnut Hill


Goldey-Beacom nearly rallied late, but in the end was handed a tough 3-2 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference loss by Chestnut Hill at Nancy Churchman Sawin Field in Wilmington, DE.


Chestnut Hill in the first half had five corner kicks in just over two minutes and converted on the last one. Nicholas Jaffe put one in front that Juan Amaya won among numerous players and booted home in the 29th minute to open the scoring.


It looked like it would remain that going into the second half, but GBC had other ideas with 10 seconds left. Lorenzo Gama (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) turned out to be the benefactor, getting a great ball from fellow sophomore Cameron Wilkinson (Terrigal, Australia) and putting a great 20-yard shot inside the top right corner for a 1-1 draw.


Even with the goals, it was the goalkeepers who highlighted the first half. GBC freshman Suhail Bismilla (Johannesburg, South Africa) and Chestnut Hill’s James Jackson each made tremendous saves and the two ended the stanza with a combined eight stops.


Matthew Casaletto gave the Griffins the lead for good in the 61st minute, firing a 25-yard shot inside the top right corner for a 2-1 lead. Nils Fussen provided the visitors what proved to be a huge insurance goal, getting a touch pass from Jaffe and putting it home in the 72nd minute for a two-goal margin.

Sophomore Omar Hernandez (West Grove, PA/Avon Grove) scored a massive goal 6:22 into the second overtime for Goldey-Beacom, which walked away from Caldwell with a huge 2-1 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference victory in Caldwell, NJ.


Caldwell grabbed a 1-0 lead with 1:57 left in the first half when Jakub Havlak took a midfield pass from Evan Marques and chipped it home for his first goal of the season.


The Lightning have shown a penchant of not letting down near the end of the half and today proved to be no different. Junior Olof Tapper (Linkoping, Sweden) received a great corner kick from freshman Chahin Aghrim (Bonn, Germany) and put one home with 32 seconds left in the stanza for a big 1-1 draw.


The second half was goalless despite GBC owning a 9-4 shots edge. Freshman goalkeeper Suhail Bismilla (Johannesburg, South Africa) then came up with two saves in the first extra period and the game proceeded to a second.


It was in the match’s 107th minute when GBC (2-4, 2-2 CACC) lowered the curtain. Aghrim again provided the assist, lifting a cross in the box that Hernandez put in the back of the net for his first goal of the season and sixth career.


The Lightning ended with a 17-11 shots edge and junior Joe Traynor (Warminster, PA/William Tennant) had three attempts. Bismilla continued his strong play, closing with four saves.


Tom Yorston took five shots and Michael Hartmann amassed five saves for the Cougars (0-6, 0-2).


Goldey-Beacom is off until next Saturday, when it welcomes Post as part of a home doubleheader with the women’s team. The men’s contest starts at 4:00 pm, which follows the women’s 1:00 pm match.

Caldwell’s lead went to 3-0 in the 38th minute as Emily Valerian took a loose ball and deposited it home for her second tally of the campaign.


The Lightning got some life in the 53rd minute to cut their deficit to 3-1. Amy Runciman (Luton, England) dribbled and fed a pass to fellow sophomore Kelsey Vick (Clarksboro, NJ/Paul VI), who found the back of the net for her second goal of the season and fifth career.


Klucker restored her squad’s three-goal lead in the 87th minute, scoring off a pass from Mia Haugen for the final.


Vick amassed three shots and junior Cindell Aguirre (El Paso, TX) made six saves for the Lightning (1-3, 1-1 CACC).

The defending Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference champions proved to be a tough opponent for Goldey-Beacom, which was dealt a 3-0 setback (13-25, 11-25, 8-25) by Post in Waterbury, CT.

Martins ended with five shots and Jon Hanlon made five saves for the Eagles (4-4, 3-2 CACC).


Sophomores Fernando Sanchez (Madrid, Spain) and Manuel Berto (Valencia, Spain) each had three shots and freshman Suhail Bismilla (Johannesburg, South Africa) amassed four saves for the Lightning (2-5, 2-3), who owned a 14-9 lead in shots.

Another great week for Goldey-Beacom athletics saw senior Aaron Easter (Elkton, MD/Rising Sun) named Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Men’s Cross Country Runner of the Week and junior Pauline Rozet (Malakoff, France) picked to the Women’s Tennis Honor Roll.

His triumph helped the Lightning capture the team title by 20 points over league-rival Philadelphia University.


Rozet gutted out a thrilling victory Thursday over Stefanie Canals-Bake of Concordia (NY) at fourth singles. She fought off several match points in an 18-point match tiebreak which went well beyond that to record a 5-7, 6-3, 1-0 (15-13) triumph.

Amy Runciman’s Hat Trick Lifts Goldey-Beacom Women’s Soccer to 6-0 Triumph Over Chowan


Amy Runciman (Luton, England) eschewed her passing skills to record her first career hat trick and fellow sophomore Kelsey Vick (Clarksboro, NJ/Paul VI) added two goals for Goldey-Beacom, which rolled to a 6-0 victory over Chowan in Hockessin, DE.


Runciman last year ended 67th in the country in assists per contest, but today it was her scoring prowess that made the difference. She raised her goal total to five on the season, putting her in the team lead.


Vick opened the scoring in the seventh minute by taking a long pass from sophomore Halle Thomas (Mantua, NJ/Clearview) and depositing it inside the left post. Runciman in the 28th minute was taken down in the box and that led to a penalty kick, which she converted for a 2-0 GBC lead.


Vick made it 3-0 in the 32nd minute by cleaning up a loose ball in front and scoring with junior Becca Cordo (Roosevelt, NJ/Hightstown) getting the assist. Runciman in the 51st minute got her second when she put away the initial shot from senior Megan Harvis (Delran, NJ/Burlington CC).


Junior Jane Grimley (Franklinville, NJ/Delsea) got her first of the season and fourth career when Runciman in the 55th minute hit her with a great pass and she placed it inside the right post, making it 5-0. Runciman closed the scoring in the 89th minute off Harvis’ second assist of the match.


Runciman ended with six shots and Harvis had five for the Lightning (2-6), who ended with a 26-3 shots edge. Junior Cindell Aguirre (El Paso, TX) only had to make one save.


Marissa Ghani closed with 10 saves for the Hawks (1-8).

On Saturday, the momentum really swung in favor of the home team following a red card and automatic ejection on the Cougars (0-9-1, 0-5-1 CACC) in the 25th minute. Although the shots were even, 2-2, following the red card, the Wildcats were able to get on the board just before the halftime whistle.

Despite playing on a man advantage, the Wildcats continued to only lead, 1-0, 25 minutes into the second half. But the tension was lifted in the 74th minute, as Lance Berry tucked home a shot on the far post, finding himself wide open after Nwechefom and Adrian Tash connected passes inside the 18-yard box. It was Berry's team leading eighth goal of the year.
The Wildcats were able to put the Cougars away in the 81st minute, adding an insurance goal to cap the scoring. Juan Bernal bent a ball around the Cougar netminder and into the side netting with his left foot, scoring his third goal of the year 80:11 into the match.
The Wildcats led 12-4 in shots and 8-1 in corners in the match. Wilmington goalkeeper Frank Hall made one save for his fourth shutout of the season while Cougar goalkeeper Michael Hartmann stopped three shots in the loss.
The Wildcats take to the road once again for their next contest, as they head to Bridgeport for a key East Region matchup on Tuesday. The Wildcats and Purple Knights play under the lights starting at 6:00 p.m.
