Camden, NJ - The Cabrini women's soccer team picked up a key road victory this evening as they took down the hosting Rutgers-Camden Scarlet Raptors by a 2-1 final. 

The win marks the Cavaliers' second in a row and third in their last four games. 

Both teams nearly matched the other throughout the 90 minute match, as the Scarlet Raptors held a narrow advantage in shots (9-7) and corner kicks (2-1), while the Blue and White put more shots on goal (6-5) and ultimately came away with the 2-1 victory. 

Cabrini had a pair of early chances, both coming off the foot of sophomore Alex Garces, as the forward put two shots on goal in the 10th and 16th minute, respectively. After a flurry of failed attacks and counter-attacks from both sides, the Cavs finally broke through in the 41st minute to claim the 1-0 lead. 

Freshman Kelly Kane lofted a beautiful ball towards the left post for sophomore Brittany Purdy who managed to corral the pass and deliver a high strike past Scarlet Raptors' keeper Natalie Eberhardt for her second goal of the season. 

The Blue and White carried the 1-0 lead, and momentum, through the intermission until they doubled down in the 69th minute as junior Katelyn Gilinger celebrated her birthday in style with her team leading third goal of the year. Thanks to a pass from senior Tori Kasper that sailed over the defense, Gilinger was able to capitalize on a breakaway and chip the ball over a charging Eberhardt to stake Cabrini with the 2-0 lead. 

Rutgers-Camden would get one back just 10 minutes later, however, as Kala de Guzman snuck the ball inside the left post and past goalie Ashley Tutzauer. Tutzauer and the Cabrini defense would stiffen, however and allow the hosts just two more shots, both of which were off the mark. The sophomore keeper finished the night with four saves. 

Following tonight's action, the Cavaliers will aim for their third straight win when they host Alvernia University on Saturday, September 22nd. Game time is slated for 3pm.
