Cabrini’s roller hockey team ended its regular season with a win against St. Joseph’s 2, 9-1 on Sunday, March 31, at the Marple Sports Arena. This win gave the Cavaliers a 12-4 record, enough to put them into third place for the playoffs.
The top three seeds in the playoffs belong to St. Joseph’s 1, Lehigh University and Cabrini.
Drexel 1 is the team to beat with a record of 13-3. Sophomore Rich Dematteo feels that it will be Drexel and Cabrini in the Championships.
The Cavaliers only have one practice a week on Fridays from 1 p.m.- 3 p.m. However, many players miss the practices due to classes or conflicts with other sports.

The game was held at the Marple Sports Arena on Saturday, March 29, and it featured the North West Conference vs. the South East Conference. Dematteo was also chosen as the games most valuable player.
