Last Meeting: Cavs upset bid falls shot in 3-2 loss to #18 Alvernia (10/29/2016)
Senior Alex Swallow put the Blue and White ahead in the third minute, as Taylor Mack's penalty corner service deflected off the Alvernia defense to Swallow. Cabrini held its lead until the final minute of the opening half, as Alvernia evened the score at 1-1 heading into the halftime break.

The Blue and White regained the lead in the opening minutes of the second half, as senior Sara DeVita hit classmate Maddy Worley for a goal.  The Crusaders, again, had an answer, tying the score less than a minute later.

The Crusaders scored the eventual winning goal late in the game, converting a penalty corner in the 62nd minute.

Cabrini Last Time Out: Cabrini Erupts for eight goals in win over Notre Dame (10/25/2017)
In addition to their season high eight goals, the Cavs also secured season high marks in penalty corners (20) and tied their season high marks in assists (5), shots (29), and shots on goal (24).

Swallow led the Blue and White with five shots, all coming on goal, while also securing two goals. Freshman Gabby Thompson also netted two goals, while classmate Maggie Nolen and seniors DeVita, Taylor and Paglia rounded out the scoring with one goal each.

The defense for the Blue and White was equally as impressive as the offense as they held the Gators to just one shot.
