The women’s soccer team was defeated by Baptist Bible College, 1-0, on Oct.19. They rose to the challenge, winning their game against Goldey-Beacom College, 2-1, on Oct. 22. They were once again defeated on Oct. 24, this time by Gwynedd-Mercy College, with a loss of 3-2.
There were no offensive statistics in the away game against Baptist Bible. Goalie Sarah Player had five saves. Freshman Loreana Meskill found it “out of the ordinary” that the Baptist Bible gathered together before game time to pray and sing.
“It was a tough game because we couldn’t connect at the end,” Meskill said, “It’s a shame because we have such great talent. Finishing doesn’t seem to be our strongpoint.”
In the Tuesday, Oct.22 game against Goldey-Beacom, the game went overtime. This win would add to the Lady Cavs’ fifth win and eleven-loss record of the season.
In the Thursday game against Gwynedd-Mercy, the Lady Cavs’ opposition scored their third and winning goal with a minute remaining on the clock. Player had eleven saves in this game. Cabrini’s first goal was scored by freshman Mary Remoli and its second by senior captain Kelli Romano. This was the third out of five PAC upcoming games. Gwynedd-Mercy was a tough team to beat with their past performances as defending Conference champions.
Bob McCartney quoted Coach Ken Prothero for the Lady Cavs’ performance in their game. Prothero said, “This was as good a game that they played all season.” Meskill said, “Gwynedd-Mercy had to beat us to get into the PAC. I thought that the ref made bad calls and that usually sets the tone for the game.”
