BOX SCORE


Philadelphia, Pa. - The Holy Family University men's soccer team dropped a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest to visiting Goldey-Beacom College by the score of 2-1 Wednesday afternoon at Tiger Field.
 
Holy Family is now 6-5-2 overall and 3-3-1 in conference play, while Goldey-Beacom improves to 3-9-0 overall and 1-7-0 in CACC action.  The win marked the Lightning's first conference victory of the season.
 
The Tigers found themselves trailing 2-0 early in the second half after a pair of goals by the Lightning.  Goldey-Beacom scored the game's first goal in the 32nd minute when senior Matt Bik scored an unassisted goal, his first of the season, to give the Lightning a 1-0 lead.
 
Goldey-Beacom doubled its lead early in the second half when Bik assisted junior Thatcher Howell on his second goal of the season.  Howell's goal made the score 2-0 in the 57th minute.
 
Holy Family broke up the shutout bid later in the half when freshman Aiah Mbriwa (Abington, Pa./Philmont Christian Academy) scored his first collegiate goal.  Mbriwa's score in the 72nd minute made the score 2-1.
 
Despite the late rally, Goldey-Beacom managed to keep the Tigers off the scoreboard the rest of the way holding off Holy Family for the victory.
 
Senior goalkeeper Ignacio Farias made four saves in net for the Lightning after facing 17 shots by the Tigers.
 
Holy Family is back in action on Saturday, Oct. 13 as the Tigers travel to face Concordia College in a CACC contest.  Game time is slated for 2:30 p.m.
