RADNOR, PA - The Cabrini women's soccer team scored conference opening victory tonights as they edged the Wesley Wolverines, 1-0, at Edith Robb Dixon Field.
The Blue and White controlled much of the action on the night as they finished with a 14-8 advantage in shots, including a 7-2 lead in shots on goal and corner kicks. Sophomore
Ashley Tutzauer finished with a pair of saves in net for the Cavs as she and the entire back line were dominant all night.
Wesley keeper Isabelle Fabris flashed in net for the Wolverines as well, as the rookie tallied six saves on the night, including four in the first stanza.
Freshman forward
Kaitryn Cloud, however came up with the key goal for the Blue and White in the 28th minute. The rookie attacked a pass from the Wesley defense intended for Fabris and caught just enough of the ball that Fabris couldn't handle it cleanly. Cloud's ensuing shot was true as it rolled into an open net and handed the Cavs a 1-0 lead.
The score would hold steady through the remainder of the game as the Cabrini defense stifled any potential attack from the visiting Wolverines.
Junior
Payton Greene tallied a team high five shots, including two on goal, while junior
Katelyn Gilinger, sophomore Alex Garces and the aforementioned Cloud finished with two shots each.
Jada Simon and Mackenzie Forsythe recorded four and three shots, respectively, to lead the visiting Wolverines.
Following today's game, the Cavaliers improve to 7-3 overall and 1-0 in conference play. They will aim for their third straight win next Wednesday, October 10th when they travel to Scranton, PA to face Marywood University.
