The Blue and White narrowly missed a goal with just over 30 seconds to play in the first half after Armanini floated a shot over Marywood goalie Bella DiToma, but a Pacer defender redirected the ball in midair for the team save to preserve the 0-0 tie into the break.
Portelli would hand the Cavs the lead in the 55th minute thanks to a long throw in from Blair that landed just outside the six yard box.
Cabrini would pad their lead 20 minutes later as Hagan headed a perfectly placed corner from Armanini into the top left corner of the net for the 2-0 advantage. The Cavalier back line suffocated the Pacer attack as they limited Marywood to just a pair of shots in the final 15 minutes of play.
