Chestnutt Hill Defeats UDC 1-0

Germantown, MD: October 9, 2007—Despite a large advantage in shots (20-6), the UDC Firebirds could not convert them into goals and fell to the Chestnutt Hill College Griffins, 1-0, today in Germantown, Maryland. Andrew Thorne took a cross from Carlos Jimenez and scored in the 20th minute to give the Griffins the win.

Injuries from previous matches left the Firebirds with few substitutes and unable to keep up with the Griffins, who substituted liberally with fresh legs in the very hot weather.  UDC will return to action on Wednesday, October 10, at Goldey Beacom College in Wilmington, Delaware.
