How It Happened
 
* The highlight of the game occurred in the final minute with the Tigers trailing 2-1.  As the seconds continued to tick of the clock, Tobin launched a free kick from just past midfield towards the goal area and watched the ball sail over the Chestnut Hill goalkeeper for his first collegiate goal.  The goal officially came with 26.9 seconds left in regulation to tie the score at 2-2 and send the game into overtime.
 
* The comeback was completed in the 102nd minute. Taylor connected on the game-winning score after receiving a pass from senior Davis Habilaj (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) who served it from the left to center pitch to find Taylor.
 
* The Tigers' comeback started in the 75th minute trailing 2-0.  Junior Sean Touey (Rockledge, Pa./Abington) scored his team-leading fourth goal of the season with a header shot to get the Tigers on the board.  Seniors Joel Richmond (Bridgetown, Barbados/Church Farm) and Sean McCormick (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) assisted on the play.
 
* Chestnut Hill led 1-0 at the half thanks to a first half goal by Diego Cabrera in the 16th minute.  The Griffins doubled their lead in the 59th minute after a score from Andrey McIntyre.
