Philadelphia, Pa. - Freshman Selena Vargas scored the game-winning goal with 1.7 seconds remaining on the clock as Nyack College defeated the Holy Family University women's soccer team by the score of 3-2 in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) contest Saturday afternoon at Tiger Field.

With the clock winding down the final seconds of regulation, Nyack was credited with a corner kick. Senior Sabrina Caires kicked the ball towards the goal as Vargas headed the ball into the back of the net with 1.7 seconds showing on the clock.
