Lakewood, N.J.- Hosting its first Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) competition of the season, Georgian Court University earned a third straight victory Wednesday with a 4-2 defeat of visiting Chestnut Hill College in women's soccer action.
The Lions climb above the .500 mark (3-2, 2-0 CACC) with the triumph while the Griffins fall to 2-2 overall (1-1 CACC).
GCU attacked early when
Marin Kulenguski ripped her first collegiate goal, courtesy of
Heather Arbachesky's league-leading fifth assist of the year, just 2:06 into the match. Arbachesky contributed a tally of her own in the 19th minute (18:53) when the senior one-timed a
Krystal Hund cross.
Down 2-0 coming out of intermission,
Nicole Cahill (Jr.-Glendora, N.J.) cut the Chestnut Hill deficit in half with her second score of the year at 61:11. The Lions put an end to any comeback attempt soon after when
Anissia Fucci (68:04) and
Shannon Kelly (74:55) each rattled home their first goals of the 2018 campaign to make it 4-1 Georgian Court.
The Lions dominated the shots column with an impressive 30-6 surplus (15-5 SOG) and owned a 10-1 advantage when it came to corner kicks.
Natalie Axelsson earned the "W" in the Georgian Court net with three saves over 90 minutes of work.Â
