ST. DAVID'S, Pa. – Eastern University senior midfielder Phil Mantua's goal less than five minutes into overtime provided the Eagles a 1-0 victory against the Cabrini men's soccer team on Saturday afternoon. It marks the third straight one-goal game played between the two rival schools in the last three seasons.

Freshman back Caleb McMain was credited with an assist on the game-winning tally, crossing the ball into the box before Mantua's header beat Cabrini freshman goalkeeper Eric Nowicki. Nowicki recorded three saves for the Cavaliers in the loss.

The Blue & White offense generated 10 shots for the match. Junior midfielder Eric Collins led the Cavaliers' charge, totaling three shot attempts.

Eastern junior goalkeeper John Crowder notched six stops for the Eagles in the victory.
