GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA - The Cabrini women's soccer team hung on for a close 1-0 victory over the hosting Gwynedd Mercy University Griffins on Saturday afternoon. 

Despite the narrow outcome, the Blue and White controlled much of the action as they held a 14-6 advantage in shots, including an 8-3 advantage in shots on goal. Cabrini also notched seven corners to the Griffins none. 

Sophomore keeper Ashley Tutzauer tallied her third shutout of the season, needing just three save to do so. Senior Tori Kasper, and sophomores Brianna Blair and Rachel Wood all recorded a team high two shots on the afternoon. 

Blair, an anchor on the Cavaliers back line, took advantage of a Cabrini corner kick in the 26th minute as she was freed up to help on the offensive end. The 5'7" sophomore used every inch of her frame as she connected off of junior Marissa Portelli's corner for a header that snuck past the arms of Griffins' keeper Kailey Hopkins. 

Blair's first goal of the season gave the Cavs a 1-0 advantage and would prove to be the game winner as Blair, and the rest of the Cavs' back line, stifled the Gwynedd Mercy attack en route to the 1-0 final. 

The Blue and White allowed just four shots in the remaining 64 minutes of play, three of which came in a two minute span in the second half. 

Following today's action, Cabrini improves to 10-4 overall and 4-1 in conference play. Their 4-1 record against Atlantic East opponents puts them in pole position in the race for the tournament's number one seed. 

The Cavs will close out their season on Wednesday, October 24th when they travel to Immaculata, PA to face the Mighty Macs. Game time is slated for 6pm.
