The Cabrini College men’s lacrosse team has once again taken the number one seed in the Colonial State Athletic Conference. Cabrini defeated Gwynedd Mercy University 17-6. However the game did not start out in Cabrini’s favor. Gwynedd jumped out to an early one-goal league in the first minute of play.

Cabrini answered back with three quick goals by senior Corey Elmer, juniors Enrique Montoya, and Mike Leyden. The start of the second quarter was where Cabrini started to pull away. Scoring five more goals. Going into the half Cabrini lead 11-3.

The second half was no different, Cabrini added on six unanswered goals. Finally Gwynedd Mercy snapped the drought adding a goal towards the end of third quarter. Mason Risner lead the way for the visiting Griffins with two goals and one assist.

This gives Cabrini its 13th win of the season. What is so remarkable about this win is that it is Cabrini’s 101 consecutive conference win just one shy of the NCAA record. Leading Cabrini in goals for the day was Junior Damian Sobieski with a career high of seven goals. Elmer added eight points on three goals and five assists. These statistic move Elmer up to third on Cabrini’s all time list for both categories.

Junior Anthony DiSanzo also chipped in with four goals. Junior Anthony Dinenno dominated face offs winning 17 out of 24. The ground ball specialist Sophomore Dan Hopson had a total of four. Freshman Hank Altschuler had a total of ten saves in the victory. Cabrini will rap up the regular season up facing Centenary College.
