How It Happened
 
* Trailing 1-0 late in the second half, the Tigers finally found the back of the net as Habilaj came through with a point-blank shot from the middle of the box to score his team-leading sixth goal of the season.  Habilaj's goal came in the 78th minute to tie the game and force overtime.  Senior Mohamed Elgayar (Philadelphia, Pa. (Egypt)/Northeast) found Habilaj with a touch-pass to assist on the play.
 
* In overtime neither team was able to score the 'Golden Goal' and walk off with the victory.  Holy Family outshot the Chargers, 5-3, in the team overtime periods.  Both teams had one shot on-goal in the final overtime period.
 
* Dominican's Maximino Casares Martinez scored the game's first goal in the 20th minute to give the Chargers a 1-0 lead.  It marked his eighth goal of the season.
 
Inside the Box Score

* Holy Family senior goalkeeper Mark Tobin (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic (La Salle Univ.)) made five saves in net, including three stops in the second half. 
 
* Habilaj finished with a game-high five shots tying his career-high.
 
All-Time Series
Today marked the 27th meeting between Holy Family and Dominican since the start of the 1998 season.  The Tigers are now 8-15-4 versus the Chargers in the all-time series.
 
Postseason Picture
Thanks to a Chestnut Hill College setback earlier in the week, the Tigers officially clinched a spot in the CACC Tournament set to begin next month.  Holy Family currently sits in sixth place in the CACC standings and with one regular season contest remaining could move up a spot pending the outcome of next week's conference games.  The Tigers would also finish as low as seventh in the standings pending the outcome of Felician University's final two conference games.
 
Next Up
Holy Family returns to action on Tuesday, Nov. 2 as the Tigers wrap up conference play on the road at Georgian Court University.  Game time is set for 3 p.m. in Lakewood, N.J.
