Goldey-Beacom clinched its 12th trip to the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference semifinals, ending the regular season and earning a first-round bye with a 6-1 victory at Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia, PA.

The Lightning's phenomenal run was extended by another chapter with this year's solid run to date. Other chapters include last season's team playing in the "Sweet 16" of the NCAA Tournament as well as the 2016 and 2017 units winning the CACC title.

This year's run saw today's win starting with the doubles point. Sophomores Maria Bruno (Maracay, Venezuela) and Imane Van Veen (Paris, France) got a 6-1 win over Mia Covic and Barbara Broville at first doubles with senior Alma Garcia Valle (Valladolid, Spain) and freshman Sara Edebo (Gothenburg, Sweden) amassing a 6-3 victory vs. Carlota Garcia and Gianna Vassalluzzo at No. 2 doubles.

Van Veen got a 6-3, 6-2 triumph at second singles over Broville and Edebo notched a 6-3, 6-3 win at No. 3 singles over Garcia. Garcia Valle posted a 6-1, 6-0 victory at fourth singles over Vassalluzzo and senior Anna Hortelano Pey (Castelldefels, Spain) got a 6-0, 6-0 triumph at No. 5 singles over Nicole Yang.
