LAFAYETTE HILL, P.A. - The Redhawks traveled to Pennsylvania this past weekend to take on Chestnut Hill College for their seventh game of the season. A strong offensive second half by the Griffins secured their close lead and gave Roberts their third loss of the season.

Immediately after the break, a goal by Junior Michael Pierog for the Redhawks kept the advantage, but three consecutive goals by the Griffins helped them take a one goal lead. Freshman Luke Delavak tied the game back up again a few seconds later, but another run by the Griffins kept them on top for good.
