Lightning Finish Five-Match Homestand With Third Shutout of Season



WILMINGTON, Del. – Freshman forward Omar Hernandez (Avon Grove H.S./West Grove, Pa.) scored the only goal of the match in the 61st minute to lead Goldey-Beacom College (3-2-0, 2-0-0) to its third win in the last four matches, a 1-0 victory over defending Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference champion Philadelphia University (2-3-0, 1-2-0) at Nancy Churchman-Sawin Field.  

Hernandez, who scored the first goal of his college career, gave Goldey-Beacom a 1-0 lead when he headed in a crossing pass from freshman Fernando Sanchez (Madrid, Spain) with 29:10 remaining in regulation.

Freshman goalkeeper Marcus Arrvidsson (Taby, Sweden) made four saves to earn his third shutout of the season for the Lightning, who were playing their fifth straight home match to open the year.

Post-Match Quotes: Goldey-Beacom Coach Ryan Dixon
"It was a matter of who wanted it more today and we were able to grind it out. I am proud of my guys for grinding it out. It was a good win for us."
"It's good to start off at home. I learned a very valuable lesson last year going on the road so much early in the season. The guys are believing in each other and buying into what we want to do. It was a great team effort to get through these five matches and great to play at home."
