After men’s basketball faces Gwynedd Mercy on Wednesday, it will conclude the regular season and open up play-offs. Junior guard Ace Henry, has high hopes for the post season.
“As the season went on we added more pieces that we were missing,” Henry said. “If we all come together we will have a chance to go far, we are on a roll now and we have to continue it. Right now we have to continue to go hard in practice and build team chemistry. I am very excited for the post season.”
As of now Cabrini, is hoping to finish as a number one seed in the Colonial States Athletic Conference.
This will be Cabrini’s six straight run for a conference championship title.
“What I know about the rivalries in the CSAC is that Gwynedd is our biggest rivals, they are always number two, and we are always number one,” Kris Knight, senior business major, said. “Even though we always beat them when we are hosting, I feel as though this year Gwynedd Mercy men’s team could surprise us for the championship. Lets just hope the team pulls it together and wins the next few games so we can host, have another CSAC championship. Plus it is my senior year I need us to win.”
