How It Happened
 
* The final shot of the game turned out to be the most important.  Taylor, who attempted just one shot prior earlier in the game, scored the game-winning goal with 2:34 remaining in regulation.  It marked his fifth goal of the season setting a new career-high. 
 
Inside the Box Score
 
* Both teams combined for just eight shots the entire first half, but doubled the attempts in the second half.  Holy Family accounted for three shots in the first 45, but came out of halftime firing 10 shots; including six on-target. 
 
* Taylor's goal not only set a career-high but also pushed him to 12 points on the season (5G/2A) to set a new career-best for points in a season.
 
* Senior goalkeeper Mark Tobin (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic (La Salle Univ.)) finished the game with five saves on his way to his fourth shutout of the season.  It marked his third shutout in his last five starts. 
 
Postseason Picture
Holy Family is currently tied for fifth place in the CACC standings with Nyack but due to today's victory will own the tie-break if both teams finish tied at the conclusion of the regular season.  With two games remaining in the regular season, the Tigers can clinch a postseason berth with a win in their next game or if Chestnut Hill College loses its CACC contest at Dominican College on Wednesday. 
 
All-Time Series
Today marked the 22nd meeting between Holy Family and Nyack since the start of the 2000 season.  The Tigers are now 10-9-3 versus the Warriors in that span.  Holy Family has won three straight games in the series.
 
Next Up
Holy Family returns to action on Saturday, Oct. 30 as the Tigers host Dominican in the final home regular season contest of the season.  Game time is set for 2:30 p.m.  Prior to the game the Tigers will recognize their senior class in part of Senior Day Festivities.
