Tigers Rally Past Lions for Second Straight Victory



Philadelphia, Pa. - Senior Kevin McCollick (Washington Twp., N.J./Washington Twp.) scored the game-winning goal in the 83rd minute to lift the Holy Family University men's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over visiting Georgian Court University in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest on Wednesday night at RAMP Playground on the campus of Father Judge High School. 
 
Holy Family is now 2-7-0 overall and most importantly improves to 2-3-0 in conference action.  Georgian Court is now 2-4-2 overall and 1-2-2 in the CACC.
 
Holy Family trailed majority of the game as Georgian Court scored the game' first goal in the eighth minute.  Michael Clarke received an outlet pass from Ricardo Vascones for a break-away score.  Clarke beat his defender one-on-one and was able to find the back of the net for his fourth score of the season.
 
The game remained 1-0 in favor of the Lions until the 67th minute when the Tigers struck with the game's equalizing goal.  Junior Christopher Tracey (Abington, Pa./Abington) attempted a header shot but Georgian Court goalkeeper, Aleksandar Milosevic made the stop.  On the play, sophomore Mariano Cepeda (Philadelphia, Pa. (Argentina)/Roman Catholic) collected the rebounded ball and beat Milosevic to tie the game, 1-1.  It marked Cepeda's second goal of the season.
 
Later in the half, the Tigers grabbed their first lead of the game when McCollick connected on a header shot led by a free kick from junior Justin Hiltwine (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) to make the score, 2-1, in the 83rd minute.  The game-winner was McCollick's first goal of the season.
 
The Holy Family defense allowed just one shot the rest of the way by Georgian Court as senior goalkeeper Richard Ongaro (Columbus, N.J./Notre Dame/VCU) picked up the victory.  Ongaro faced 12 shots in the game and made six saves, including five in the first half.
 
Holy Family will look to extend its winning streak to three games on Saturday when the Tigers travel to face Post University in a CACC contest.  Game time is slated for 2:30 p.m. in Waterbury, Conn.
