Last Meeting: Cavs handle Highlanders with 3-0 victory
Despite outshooting the Highlanders 12-4 in the first half, the Blue and White did not find the back of the net until late in the period.  

The Blue and White scored all three of their goals in the first 56 minutes of action. Sophomore Diana VanSickle put Cabrini on the board in the 41st minute with her first career goal. Junior Megan Horn and Senior Taylor Traile each recorded a goal in the next 16 minutes to push the lead to 3-0. 

Anchored by senior goaltender Gabby LeGendre, the Cabrini defense never allowed Cairn to get on track. The Cavalliers surrendered just five shots, none on target, and one corner kick.

Cabrini Last Time Out: Cavs play to second straight draw, this time against Neumann
Despite outshooting the Knights by a 27-12 margin, the Blue and White couldn't net a game winner through two overtime periods. The Cavs doubled their counterpart's shots on goal (12) and held a 7-6 advantage in corner kicks as well. 

After a slow first half that saw a combined four shots on goal, all coming from Neumann, the Blue and White turned up the pressure. Tralie opened up the scoring as she netted a goal just a minute after halftime. The Knights quickly responded with two goals of their own to take the 2-1 lead. 

With just under five minutes in regulation, the Cavs struck pay dirt as freshman Brianna Blair connected for a beautiful header off of a Tralie corner to even the score. Both teams threatened in overtime, but neither was able to pick up the golden goal as they game ended in the aforementioned 2-2 draw. 

Cairn Last Time Out: Highlanders fall to Griffins 9-0
The Highlanders defense was shocked almost instantly off the tap when the Griffins mounted an impressive attack, sending a cross in front of the goal where it was powered into the net by the Gwynedd Mercy forward only a minute into the contest. The Highlanders defense was tested early, seeing 8 shots in the first 12 minutes of action. 

The Griffins tallied their second of the afternoon in the 19^th minute when a cross found the head of charging forward Erin Reitmeyer. Gywnedd Mercy would net two more goals late in the first half as they bombarded the net with 19 first half shots.

Cairn keeper Mackenzie Paugh gave her best effort in net as the senior saw 27 shots on the night.
