BOX SCORE

Newark, N.J. - The Holy Family University women's soccer team shutdown Caldwell College in the quarterfinals of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Championship Tuesday afternoon at Rutgers University - Newark's Alumni Field.
 
Holy Family, seeded sixth in this year's championship, improves to 11-7-0 overall, while third seeded Caldwell wraps up its season with an 8-8-2 mark.  With the win, Holy Family advances to the CACC semifinals and will face seventh seeded Dominican College at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 3. This marks the eighth straight season that Holy Family has advanced to the CACC semifinals under head coach Mike Biddle.
 
Holy Family scored the game's first goal within the first four minutes of action to take an early lead.  Senior Lindsay Fisher (Oakford, Pa./Archbishop Wood) scored her third goal of the season after she connected from eight yards out in the fourth minute.  Junior Melissa Benson (Rockledge, Pa./Little Flower) assisted on the play.
 
Later in the half, Holy Family doubled its lead when senior Dawn Curry (Pennsville, N.J/Pennsville) tallied her first of two goals of the afternoon.  Curry took a pass from junior Kathryn Helkowski (Levittown, Pa./Conwell Egan) and shot from 15-yards out scoring her 11th goal of the season in the 18th minute.
 
The score remained 2-0 the rest of the half and into halftime.  In the second half, Curry struck again scoring off a corner kick attempt by freshman MaryKate Morris (Philadelphia, Pa./Saint Hubert's) in the 58th minute.  It marked Curry's 12th goal of the season as Holy Family led 3-0.
 
The Tigers tacked on another goal in the 78th minute after junior Megan Tole (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) received a pass from senior Amanda Trabosh (Washington Twp., N.J./Gloucester Catholic) up the middle scoring from 15-yards out.  Tole's 11th goal of the season made the score 4-0 with less than 13 minutes to play in regulation.
