The result of the game against Gwynedd-Mercy was the Cavaliers’ first loss of the season. Gwynedd-Mercy College consecutively won the first three games of the set. Instead of Cabrini making it to best-out-of-five games, it came to a stop after the third. The scores were the following: first game: 30/15, second game: 30/23, and final third game: 30/27.
Lady Cavalers’ Kacie Green, Pennsylvania Athletic Conference player of the week, believes that the team has had better games. Green said, “Gwynedd-Mercy is a good team. They came in second in the PAC last year. I think we did well, but we could have done better. The last game out of five was close 30/27, and we almost won.” If the Lady Cavaliers won the third game they would have gotten two more chances to recover.
Alissa Smith, Cabrini senior captain, said, “as a whole team it wasn’t a good game, but there were a lot of individual players that performed excellent.” Smith felt the team was lacking energy together. “Instead of dwelling on it, we will build from it. This game was a learning experience for everybody.”
Sophomore Lauren Budwags was in the stands during the game. Budwags says,” I just started watching volleyball at Cabrini last year, and I go to a lot of games now.”
“This is only my first college volleyball game I’ve seen,” Sophomore Heather Bralynski said, I didn’t realize how exciting it was, but more people should definitely come out to see the girls play!”
