Tigers Continue to Roll
Holy Family will enter the postseason riding a 14-match winning streak; second longest in program history.
 
Regular Season Champions!
The South Division title is the programs fourth South Division Title and second straight.
 
Postseason Picture
As mentioned above, Holy Family claimed at the very least a share of the CACC South Division title with a 16-3 conference record.  Georgian Court University is currently in second place with a 15-3 mark and with a win in its regular season finale tomorrow against Dominican College the Lions will share the crown with the Tigers.  Georgian Court though would receive the top-seed in the South Division while the Tigers will receive the second seed due to the conference's tie-break procedures.  However, if the Lions lose to the Chargers the Tigers will win the regular season title outright and earn the top seed in the South Division.
 
Next Up
Holy Family returns to action on Tuesday, Nov. 19 as the Tigers host a CACC quarterfinal match versus an opponent still to be determined.  The official pairings of the CACC Tournament will be announced at the conclusion of the regular season this weekend.
