Plymouth Meeting, Pa. - The men's soccer team bounced back with a 3-1 victory over Chestnut Hill College to improve to 8-5-1 on the campaign in the first-ever meeting between the Lions and the Griffins this evening at Victory Field. 

How it Happened

• Despite a scoreless first half of action, the maroon and white out-shot the home team, 7-6, forcing keeper Bryce Fadako to make three saves.
