How it Happened
Three late-unanswered goals by the Tigers turned out to be the game changer as Holy Family rallied from two goals down to defeat Goldey-Beacom.  Holy Family jumped on the scoreboard in the 60th minute when senior Justin Hiltwine (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) received a pass from fellow senior Joe Steward (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic) from inside the box.  Hiltwine was able to fire a shot past goalkeeper, Suhail Bismilla, to cut the lead in half at 2-1.  It marked Hiltwine's third goal of the season.
 
In the 84th minute the Tigers tied the game when James, the CACC Player of the Week, tallied his sixth goal of the season.  James received a pass from junior Mariano Cepeda (Philadelphia, Pa. (Argentina)/Roman Catholic) on the equalizing goal.
 
Minutes later James struck again with his team-leading seventh goal and second of the game.  Sophomore Matthew Tracey (Jenkintown, Pa./Abington) ran up the left side of the field and found James in the center heading towards the box.  A quick pass by Tracey to James resulted in the game-winning score as the shot beat the goalkeeper on the right side.
 
The Lightning set up back-to-back corner kicks in the 87th minute but the Holy Family defense held the Lightning without a shot.
 
Senior goalkeeper Dylan Rutledge (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic) made six saves in net to record his first victory of the season. 
 
Goldey-Beacom's Erik Tapper scored the game's first goal in the 42nd minute, which led to a 1-0 Lightning lead at halftime.  Nicolas Jaramillo doubled the lead in the 57th minute with his second goal of the season.
 
Postseason Picture
Holy Family is still alive for grabbing a postseason berth into the CACC Tournament.  The Tigers are currently tenth in the standings with nine points.  The Tigers have two more games left in the regular season and could record up to six more points in the standings if they win out.

Streaking Tigers
Holy Family has won three straight games after snapping its 12-game winless streak.  The Tigers have outscored their opponents, 10-5, in that span. 
 
Next Up
Holy Family returns to action on Saturday, Oct. 22 as the Tigers host Caldwell University in a CACC contest.  Game time is slated for 2:30 p.m. at Tiger Field.  Prior to the game, Holy Family will recognize its senior class in part of Senior Day Festivities.
