RADNOR, Pa. – The Cabrini College men's soccer season came to an end tonight in the first round of the Colonial States Athletic Conference tournament with a 3-0 home loss to the Gwynedd-Mercy College Griffins.  The Cavaliers finish the 2011 campaign with a 9-10-1 record overall. 

The Blue and White had their chances to score during the first half, including a 7-1 advantage in corner kicks but the Cavaliers could only turn those opportunities into two shots on goal. 

Gwynedd-Mercy captured the game's momentum late in the first half when Tyler Reed scored off a rebound with just over a minute to play before the halftime break.

After the intermission, the Griffins put the pressure on Cabrini as GMC's Dan Panapresso tallied the first of his two goals one minute into the second half.

The Cavaliers continued to fight to create scoring chances but could not quite make the necessary connections.  Gwynedd-Mercy put the game out of reach in the 57th minute when Panapresso recorded an unassisted goal to put GMC up 3-0.

Cabrini maintained an 11-4 edge in corner kicks.

Tonight's loss brings the careers of seniors Eric Collins, Anthony Girolamo, Jim Mattock, Jake Neary and Jake Thomas to a close.  As a group, the men's soccer Class of 2012 won 49 games, including the 2008 and 2009 CSAC Championships.  They accounted for 40 goals and 21 assists and garnered six All-CSAC honors.
