The Tigers, who snapped a three-match losing streak with the victory, secured a berth in the CACC Tournament, which will begin on Nov. 4. However, the Tigers' seed in the eight-team field will not be determined until after the regular season ends on Saturday afternoon.

The Lightning took a 1-0 lead in the 30th minute when freshman midfielder Pablo Millan (Zaragoza, Spain) scored the first goal of his college career on a shot from a sharp angle after receiving a short corner kick from senior midfielder William Miller (Meadowcreek H.S./Norcross, Ga.).

Just over two minutes later, senior midfielder Andre Jank (Campo Grande, Brazil) upped the Goldey-Beacom advantage to 2-0 when he took a pair of quick passes from freshman midfielder Erik Tapper (Linkoping, Sweden) and junior forward Luiz Ristow (Joinville, Brazil) and scored his team-high eighth goal of the season.

But, the Tigers answered with 6:09 remaining in the first half when senior midfielder Ahmed Elgayar (Central H.S./Philadelphia, Pa.) converted a penalty kick for his third goal of the season.

In the 63rd minute, Woodruff narrowed the gap to 3-2 when he took a long pass from sophomore goalkeeper Richard Ongaro (Notre Dame H.S./Columbus, N.J.) off a restart and scored his first goal of the season.

With 13:16 remaining in regulation, freshman midfielder Justin Hiltwine (Father Judge H.S./Philadelphia, Pa.) tallied the first goal of his career when he collected a loose ball inside the penalty area and scored past senior goalkeeper Carlos Meinhard (Caracas, Venezuela), tying the match at 3-3.

Woodruff gave Holy Family a 4-3 lead it did not relinquish with 4:09 remaining when he took a crossing pass from sophomore forward Aiah Mbriwa (Philmont Christian Academy/Abington, Pa.) and scored on an open shot in the penalty area.

With 1:20 left, sophomore defender Tom Kostick (Roman Catholic H.S./Philadelphia, Pa.) added an insurance goal when he scored on a restart from 20 yards for his first goal of the season.

While Woodruff led the Tigers' offense with two goals, Ongaro tallied three saves for Holy Family, which held Goldey-Beacom to just nine shots.

Meinhard made seven saves for the Lightning, who ended the season with a 10-match winless streak.

The loss marked the final college matches for Jank, Meinhard, Miller, senior midfielder Dylan Pepper (Sussex Tech H.S./Milton, Del.), senior forward Charles Netya (Glasgow H.S./Newark, Del.) and graduate student forward Kyle Lawrence (Smyrna H.S./Smyrna, Del.). All six players started for the Lightning against Holy Family.
