ASTON, PA - The Cabrini women's soccer team used four second half goals to pick up a 4-0 victory in their Atlantic East Conference (AEC) opener on Wednesday night against Neumann University.

Just over two minutes later, Hagan doubled Cabrini's lead following a foul on Neumann's Emily Cooper in box. The Philadelphia native delivered with a PK goal for the 2-0 lead. 

Gilinger made it a 3-0 Cavalier advantage two minutes later with an unassisted strike in the 55th minute for her fifth goal of the season. 

Cabrini would cap their scoring in the 63rd minute after VanSickle netted her second goal of the day with, courtesy of another assist from Gilinger. 

Cabrini's defense would hold the Knights without a shot the rest of the way en route to the 4-0 final.
