How It Happened
 
* Holy Family wasted no time finding the back of the net as freshman Joel Richmond (Bridgetown, Barbados/Church Farm) scored the game's first goal in the sixth minute of action.  Junior Shane Holmes (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge (Harcum College)) assisted on the play as Richmond now has three goals this season.
 
* Leading 1-0 early in the second half the Tigers doubled their lead when McCormick connected on his first of two goals.
 
* Five minutes later McCormick extended the lead in the 61st minute with his second score of the game and third of the season.  Holmes was credited with the assist for his second tally of the game.
 
* Jefferson made things interesting late in the second half with goals from Jason Rocha in the 79th minute and Rashaan Robe in the 89th minute. 
 
News and Notes
 
* Junior goalkeeper Mark Tobin (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic (La Salle Univ.)) earned the win in net for the Tigers as he tied his season-high with seven saves after facing 14 shots by the Rams.
 
* McCormick's two goals marked his first multi-goal game of his career.
