The volleyball team shut out Rosemont 3-0 on Monday, Oct. 21.
Tied for most of the first match, the game was close. But Cabrini managed to pull through towards the end of each match.
By the second round there was a definite change in atmosphere as the Cabrini spirit of both the team and crowd picked up. They won that match 30-24.
Rosemont was at a disadvantage with only seven members on its team. Three Rosemont players were unable to make it to the game and its strongest was injured. With just one substitute player on the bench, Rosemont took a hesitant nature on the court.
Rosemont’s head coach, Grey Ashman, encouraged his team despite a modified roster. In the end, the only qualm he said he had was, “They seemed to forget their moves tonight. They just froze at times. There was a lack of courage because they had less players.”
Tricia Arnold, head coach of the Lady Cavs, said, “We have what I like to call our ‘A’ game, which would be the best that we can play. I don’t think we brought out our ‘A’ game that night. But this win was an important step towards the PAC.”
Arnold said that Cabrini had a more talented team. But this did not show because, out of fairness, they were trying to play down to Rosemont’s level.
Kacie Green, freshman setter for the Cavs, said, “I think we could have played harder with more intensity.”
