Cabrini’s women’s soccer team dominated Marywood University 3-0. The Cavs connected on one goal in the first period and two goals in the second. The win advances the Lady Cavs to 6-0 in the CSAC and 7-6 overall.
Junior Meghan Martin gave the Cavaliers a 1-0 lead in the first period just over one minute into the game. Senior Melissa Scanzano assisted junior Dana Peterson in the second period giving the Blue and White a 1-0 lead.
Freshman Taylor Tralie recorded the last goal of the night, which was assisted by Martin.
A large part of the Cavs success was due to the play of their goalies. Freshman Goalie Alivia Dietsch has four shutouts on the season thus far.
However, the lineup has had its changes. Last year, sophmore Goalie Marissa Jenkins took the reigns as the starter.
Even though Jenkin’s time on the field has declined since last season, she has showed the Cavaliers her skill set. Goalies do not switch out as often as other positions they are normally the stable player.
Jenkins is a team player, she stays positive throughout the whole game. She cheers her team on and stays in tune the whole time. She continues to go to practice everyday to get better with her position.
“I keep working hard to make myself and my team bettter,” Jenkins said.
Even though Jenkins stays positive, it disappoints her to not be able to play after starting every game last year. But she does not let it discourage her because of how passionate she is about soccer.
Without soccer she feels like something is missing from her schedule. Some might say it’s a waste of their time but not Jenkins. She has her time management all mapped out. She is used to being a student athlete.
Staying positive is key when playing on a team. From the looks of it Marissa is definitely a team player regardless if she’s on the field or not.
The Blue and White return to action on Oct. 15 against CSAC opponent Gwynedd Mercy University. The Cavaliers are on a five game winning streak and look to extend their streak to six games. Game time is set for 6 p.m.
