How It Happened
 
* Holy Family struck first and took an early lead on Queens.  In the 13th minute, junior Hannah Florentino (Philadelphia, Pa./Nazareth Academy) scored her first goal of the season with a shot from the left-side after a throw-in pass from sophomore Maura Kilkenny (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Little Flower). 
 
* Leading 1-0, the Tigers added another score in the 28th minute.  Sophomore Carly Nothnagel (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East) connected on her first goal of the year when she fired in a shot inside the box.  Nothnagel received a cross-pass from senior Jacqueline Ziegler (Feasterville, Pa./Neshaminy) with fellow senior Yasmine Machlof (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Lower Moreland) setting up the initial pass. 
 
* The score remained 2-0 through the rest of the half.  The Tigers though would quickly strike to start the second half with a goal in the 52nd minute.  Ziegler scored a goal of her own with a chip shot over the Queen's goalkeeper for her first score of the season.  Machlof along with junior Megan Kennedy (Philadelphia, Pa./Nazareth Academy) were credited with assists on the play.
 
* Queens finally got on the board in the 74th minute to break up the Tigers' shutout bid.  Samantha Pinto launched a shot from about 40-yards out towards the net after receiving a pass from Sarah Anderson on a free kick. 
 
Inside the Box Score
 
* Senior goalkeeper Alayna McSeed (Bensalem, Pa./Bensalem) made two saves in net after starting the game and playing the entire first half. Sophomore Ceili' Courduff (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Lower Moreland) relieved McSeed to start the second half for the Tigers and made four saves.
 
* Kennedy's assist on the team's final score marked her first career point. 
 
* Machlof set a career-high with two assists in the game. 
 
* Holy Family outshot the Knights, 16-10, for the game with 10 shots being on-target.  
 
* Earlier in the day, McSeed was named the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Goalkeeper of the Week for the week ending Sept. 19 as announced by the conference office.  Freshman Alyssa Hooten (Pocono Summit, Pa./Pocono Mountain East) was selected to the Weekly Honor Roll.
