The Lady Cavs faced a tough test against 11-1 Neumann University on Tuesday, April 9. The Lady Knights also happened to be undefeated in the CSAC.
That didn’t matter to the Lady Cavs, who routed the Lady Knights, 20-9, to improve to 5-0 in CSAC play and hand Neumann just their second loss of the season and first CSAC loss.
The Lady Cavs and Lady Knights traded goals in the early stages of the first half. Cabrini got goals from Melissa Scanzano, Lacie Doubet and Katie Lasater.
At the halfway point of the first half, however, the Lady Knights had the 4-3 lead.
The Lady Cavs then reeled off six straight goals, including three from senior Christina Pasqueriello. Doubet also added her second of the game, and Bree Thompson, Sara Carzo and Ali May also tallied their first goals.
Neumann managed to score with five seconds left in the half to cut the score in half, 10-5.
But the Lady Cavs didn’t surrender in the second.
Doubet and Pasqueriello carried the team, scoring a combined six goals in the half. The Lady Cavs as a team scored 10 goals in the second half.
Pasqueriello finished with a career-high seven goals in the victory.
The Lady Cavs return to action and go for their seventh straight win on Saturday when they host Centenary College. Game time is set for 12 p.m.
