Goal Scorers
D. Habilaj – HFU (16') | S. Touey – HFU (41')
 
How It Happened
 
* Two first half goals were all the Tigers would need in this one.  The first goal came in the 16th minute when senior Davis Habilaj (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) connected on his third goal of the season and third goal in two games.  Habilaj received a cross pass from fellow senior Joel Richmond (Bridgetown, Barbados/Church Farm) who ran up the left side of the field to feed the pass into the box.
 
* Holy Family doubled its lead right before the half in the 41st minute.  Junior Sean Touey (Rockledge, Pa./Abington) tallied his third goal of the season with a header shot after receiving a pass from the left side from senior Mohamed Elgayar (Philadelphia, Pa. (Egypt)/Northeast). 
 
* Despite Goldey-Beacom holding a 14-9 edge in shots, the Holy Family defense limited the Lightning to just three shots on-target in which senior goalkeeper Mark Tobin (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic (La Salle Univ.)) turned away to preserve the shutout victory.
 
Inside the Box Score
 
* Senior Georg Montag (Philadelphia, Pa., Archbishop Ryan) led the team with three shots, while Habilaj and Touey each added two shots for the Tigers.
 
* Tobin recorded his first shutout of the season and the 11th of his career.
 
All-Time Series
Today marked the 29th meeting between Holy Family and Goldey-Beacom since the start of the 1997 season.  The Tigers are now 17-12-0 versus the Lightning in that span.  Holy Family has won the last three meetings in the series.
 
Next Up
Holy Family returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 25 as the Tigers travel to face Felician University in a CACC contest.  Game time is set for 3:30 p.m.
