How It Happened
* In the 9th minute of play Queens took advantage of a corner kick opportunity as Emgi Gousse tipped in a shot off a corner attempt to give the Knights a 1-0 lead. 
 
* The game remained 1-0 until early in the second half when the Knights scored a pair of goals within a five minute span.  Firoze Mehirdel connected on a score off another corner kick by the Knights in the 49th minute to double the lead. Gousse then gave the Knights a 3-0 advantage in the 54th minute with his second goal of the game and third of the season.
 
* After totaling only two shots the entire first half the Tigers fired off eight in the second 45 minutes.  Holy Family had an opportunity to get on the scoreboard in the 58th and 59th minute but shots by freshmen Sean McCormick (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) and Mohamed Elgayar (Philadelphia, Pa. (Egypt)/Northeast) were stopped by Queens' goalkeeper Robert Retnauer. 
 
All-Time Series
Today marked the fourth meeting all-time between Holy Family and Queens dating back to the 2010 season.  Both teams are now 2-2-0 versus one another with the Knights winning two straight over the Tigers.
 
Next Up
Holy Family returns to action on Monday, Sept. 4 as the Tigers host Saint Thomas Aquinas College in their home opener.  Game time is set for 2 p.m. at Tiger Field.
