Women's Basketball Claims Fifth CSAC Title in Six Years With 71-64 Win Over Neumann

Radnor, PA - The Cabrini women's basketball team claimed their fifth Colonial States Athletic Conference title in the last six years after a thrilling 71-64 victory over rival Neumann University this afternoon. 

Senior Sabrina Hackendorn was named game MVP thanks to her team high 17 points and six rebounds. Sophomore Meghan Matthews recorded a double double in the win with 15 points and 12 rebounds, while freshman Lexi Edwards and junior Nomi Washington tallied 12 points each. Freshman Kate Lannon added 10 points and eight rebounds off the bench. 

After a hotly contested opening quarter that saw neither team hold more than a three point advantage, the Blue and White ripped off a 15-to-5 run to grab a commanding 26-14 lead. The Knights managed to close the half on a short 5-to-0 run to cut the Cavs lead back to just nine points. A late basket from Neumann freshman Minika Glenn capped the scoring at the half as she broke loose for an easy layup. 

Cabrini would briefly push their lead back to double digits in the third quarter until Neumann came roaring back. A jumper from Neumann junior and 2018 CSAC Player of the Year Nafisa Saunders sparked a 12-to-2 run for the Knights as they stole the lead as time expired in the third. 

Down 53-49 early in the fourth, the Blue and White responded with an 8-to-0 run of their own to take the 57-53 lead, highlighted by a jumper from Washington and Edwards. The Knights would cut the Cavs' lead down to just two points with 7:05 left in the game, but that is as close as they would get. 

Up 69-64 with 17 seconds left and Hackendorn at the line, Matthews came came down with a game clinching offensive rebound and trip to the charity stripe, where she would hit both, to seal the 71-64 victory. 

As mentioned, this marks the fifth time in the last six years the Blue and White have claimed the CSAC title and their ninth CSAC championship overall. By virtue of the conference's automatic bid, the Cavaliers also secured their 10th trip to the NCAA Tournament.
