The Cabrini Lady Cavaliers basketball team currently has a 19-4 overall record with a 13-1 conference mark. This past week, Blue and White earned two impressive wins, over Immaculata and Neumann.
In the game against Immaculta, senior Brittany Sandone led the way and had 18 points, senior Annie Rivituso had 15 points, and sophomore Amber Keyes had 12 points. In the game against Neumann, Sandone, Rivituso, and Keyes once again led the Cavs in scoring, with Sandone leading the way with 22 points, Rivituso, scoring 15 points, Keyes, scoring 13 points, along with senior Colleen Stewart, who scored 11 points.
The Lady Cavs look to continue their success Monday night, when they travel to Gwynedd Mercy, and finally, close the season out on Wednesday, Feb. 17 against Keystone College, which also happens to be the Lady Cavs senior night.
The Lady Cavs defense has carried the team throughout the season. Up to this point, they are holding their opponent to an impressive 50.5 points to their 68.1 points scored. That is a 17.6 scoring margin. On nights when the ball doesn’t go through the hoop, the Cavs stingy defense seems to rise to the occasion every time. This bodes well for the Lady Cavs as the season draws to a close and the conference and NCAA tournaments get started.
Even though the Lady Cavs scoring isn’t as great as their defense, it’s still pretty consistent. They are scoring 68 points per game.
The turnover ratio the Lady Cavs have compared to their opponent is also pretty impressive. Blue and White is only turning the ball over at a rate of 15 .6 times per game compared to their opponents 23.8 times per game. That is about 8 less turnovers per game the Lady Cavs are committing compared to their opponent.
For the Lady Cavs to go far into the conference and NCAA tournaments, these numbers will need to be similar or improved. It’s been a very successful season for the Lady Cavs that hopefully will result in not only a conference championship, but a great performance in the NCAA Tournament.
