The Cabrini women’s field hockey team traveled to Hoboken, N.J. on Tuesday, Sept. 22 to face the Stevens Institute of Technology. The Cavs struggled and fell short to the Ducks with a final score of 4-0.
Despite the loss, the Lady Cavs were able to outshoot the Ducks 12-9. They also tallied up eight shots on goal, three more than the Ducks. However, it wasn’t enough for the women to pull out a win.

Senior forward, Kerry Anne Farrell, led the Cavaliers recording five shots total, including three on goal.
Impressive showings also came from sophomores Jackie Neary and classmate Maddy Worley. The ladies added two shots and a shot on goal for the evening, respectively.
Sara DeVita , sophomore left midfielder, also added two shots on goal for the evening.
DeVita said it became increasingly more difficult for the ladies to make a come back after a scoreless first half. Stevens scored their first of four goals in the 32nd minute.
“Although we had more shots on goal, they were able to score more quickly,” Devita said. “Once they were up 1-0, we weren’t able to bounce back.”
One of the biggest challenges the Cavs faced was losing sophomore midfielder, Jess Tennett, in the second half.
Tennett suffered a blow to the knee in the first half of the game and was out for the rest of the evening.
“She had a great first half and was play- ing really well,” DeVita said. “Losing her only hurt us more.”
The Ducks quickly scored their next three goals in a 15-minute span in the second half, closing out their victory for the evening.
Although the loss has dropped the Cavaliers to 2-4 on the season the ladies are ready to put the game behind them and focus on the rest of the season.
The Cavs are working hard to prepare for their game against Rowan University. “We haven’t been able to beat them in the last few years so we are hoping for a win,” DeVita said.
The Cavaliers will open their home season on Monday, Sept. 28. After six games on the road, the ladies will face the Rowan University Profs at Edith Robb Dixon Field. The action is set to begin at 6:30 p.m.
