Cabrini Last Time Out: Second Half Surge Powers Knights Past Cavs (9/11/18)
The Cabrini women's soccer team hung tough with the defending MAC Commonwealth champion Arcadia Knights, but the veteran-laden Knights rallied for a come-from-behind 2-1 victory under the lights.

The Cavs nearly matched the Knight shot for shot in the first half and pushed across the games first goal, thanks to a perfectly placed shot from junior Maddy Wojton, but a costly own goal from Cabrini in the second half followed by the game winner from Arcadia's Amanda McHugh just five minutes later proved to be the difference. 

Wojton's goal was her first of the season and came off a misplay from the Arcadia back line. The junior took advantage and squeezed the ball past the outstretched arms of Knights' freshman keeper Brianna Williams in the 22nd minute. 

The Knights would ultimately break through, however as an Arcadia corner kick took a bad bounce off a Cavalier defender and found pay dirt in the 52nd minute to even the score at one apiece. Just five minutes later, McHugh would tally the game winner for the visiting Knights off another perfectly placed corner from Stephanie Maggio. 

Brandywine Last Time Out: Ursinus Blanks Brandywine (9/8/18)

Brandywine goalkeeper Emily Bush made six saves for the Lions, while Bears net minders Sabrina Doherty and Sarah Embley combined for the shutout. Brianna Banks recorded the lone shot on goal for Brandywine. Ursinus tallied 23 shots with 13 on target.
