A late goal in the final 65 seconds of the second half proved to be the game winner as Nyack College snapped the Chestnut Hill College Women's Soccer team's three-match win streak with a 3-2 victory at Laurel Hill Park field in Secaucus , New Jersey.

The Griffins fall to 5-5-1 overall and 3-4 in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) games.  Nyack improves to 6-6 overall and 3-4 in league play.

With the game tied at 2-2 in the second half, the Griffins were called for a foul that resulted in a penalty kick with 1:05 left on the clock.  Nyack's Shanice Rapp converted the kick for her second goal of the game and a 3-2 lead which held up for a Warrior win.

Chestnut Hill entered the second half facing a 2-0 deficit  but quickly tied the game up with two goals in a 2 1/2 minute span midway through the half.  Senior Maddie Jimenez scored her league-leading ninth goal of the season in the 64th minute with Madison Taylor getting the assist on the play.  Less than two minutes later, Jimenez found freshman Abigail Galazka open for the game-tying goal in the 66th minute.  It was Galazka's third goal of the season.   The score remained tied until Nyack converted the penalty kick as time was running down.

Jimenez totaled three points with the goal and assist which  gives her 21 points on the season, tops among CACC women's soccer players.  The senior forward now also leads the conference in total shots (54) and shots on goal (28). 

Senior goalkeeper Bri Hewlett had a season-high 13 saves for the Griffins.   Hewlett leads the league in saves with  Nyack outshot Chestnut Hill 21 (17 on goal) to 12 (7 on goal).

The women's soccer team returns to action on Wednesday, October 20, 2021 when they travel to play Philadelphia rival Jefferson University. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m.
