To say that Cabrini women’s basketball team is having a successful season would be an understatement. The Lady Cavs are 20-3 overall and still have three games left in the regular season. They are on a 15-game winning streak and have clinched the first seed in playoffs with ease.
Additionally, they rolled past arch-rival Gwynedd-Mercy last Wednesday, 79-55.
“It is very exciting to come this far in the season,” Megan Decker said. “We clinched first seed in the playoffs which means automatic home court advantage.”
Having the first semi-final game being at home, there is definitely an advantage, and the fans will have their backs and will be there to cheer them on to a victory.
The Cavaliers have scored 1,498 points thus far in the season, averaging 65.1 points per game.
“It is a privilege to have gotten this far,” Amber Keys said. “We have been working so hard as a team and our goal is to win the CSAC’S and we just want to take it 1 game at a time.”
As always, in the playoffs, it’s a whole new ball game. New attitudes, new opponents, and new drive to win the championship.
That makes the Lady Cavs’ task that much harder. If they want to win their first CSAC title in four seasons, they can’t let the top-seed status change their mindset.
Due to inclement weather last Saturday, the Lady Cavs’ game against Marywood was postponed but the makeup game will be played on Saturday, Feb. 16. That leaves two games left on the schedule for the Lady Cavs.
But even with two remaining games against conference opponents, the focus has already shifted to the playoffs. It is clear the Lady Cavs have been on a mission. Now, they plan to channel that energy and drive in the CSAC Tournament.
It is unfamiliar territory for the Lady Cavs and the players on the current roster. But for a group that has been together for the better part of three seasons, there is familiarity, chemistry and a desire to play for each other.
That is what really has the Lady Cavs winning. They play for each other and take a winning attitude into every game.
The CSAC semi-final game will be played on Wednesday, Feb. 20 at Nerney Field House.
This game is important for the team and the Lady Cavs have worked so hard and have gone so far. It is obvious that when a team plays like they do, they will go far in the season.
