About Holy Family
The Tigers clinched a share of the CACC Regular Season Title after finishing conference play with a 9-2-0 record.  It marked the team's second straight regular season title and third under head coach Jill Reeves.  Now in her 10th year at the helm of the women's soccer program, Reeves recently won her 100th career game in the team's regular season finale, a 2-0 triumph at Georgian Court University. Holy Family concluded the regular season with an 11-4-2 overall record.
 
Offensively, the Tigers are led by senior Jacqueline Ziegler (Feasterville, Pa./Neshaminy) who leads the team in scoring with 18 points; one shy of her career-high.  Ziegler has dished out the second most assists in the CACC thus far with eight and has scored five goals. The Tigers are 7-0-2 when Ziegler records at least one point in a game.
 
On the defensive side of the ball the Tigers have allowed the least number of goals both in conference and overall.  Holy Family has allowed 14 goals overall this season and only six in conference play.  City rival Thomas Jefferson University also holds that distinction with mirror numbers to the Tigers.  
 
Senior goalkeeper Alayna McSeed (Bensalem, Pa./Bensalem) is having a career year in net for the Tigers.  She will enter the postseason with a goals against average of 0.77; the lowest in program history since Kristy Cusick recorded a 0.79 GAA after the 2005 season.  McSeed has totaled 75 saves and has eight shutouts on the year.
