CAMDEN, NJ – The Cavaliers built a two goal cushion in the 48th minute, but could not maintain the lead, as the Cabrini men's soccer team suffered a 5-3 loss at Rutgers-Camden.  

The Blue and White took an early lead, as senior Thomas Butz's free kick service found senior Andre Justin at the left post for the senior's second goal of the season just three minutes after the opening whistle.

The lead was short-lived, as the Scarlet Raptors evened the score in the 12th minute. The Cavaliers regained their lead in the 14th minute, as another Butz service found sophomore Josh Cunningham to give Cabrini a 2-1 lead.

Despite being outshot 17-3 in the opening 45 minutes, the Cavaliers carried their slim cushion into the halftime break.

Cabrini extended its lead just three minutes into the second half, as senior Justin Barbuto's cross found freshman Vincent DeLisi's forehead.

The home team responded with goals in the 54th and 57th minutes to eliminate Cabrini's two goal lead.

The game remained deadlocked until the Scarlett Raptors netted the eventual game-winner in the 82nd minute. Rutgers-Camden added an insurance goal in the game's final seconds.

The Cavaliers fell on the short side of the Scarlet Raptors' 24-6 advantage in shots and failed to force a corner kick.

DeLisi accounted for two of Cabrini's six shots, while junior goaltender Anthony Zampirri posted six saves.

Walter Barreto scored two goals for Rutgers-Camden (5-1).

Cabrini (2-3) will look to snap its current two match skid on Saturday, as it visits Cairn University (2-3) . The opening kickoff is slated for 1pm in Langhorne, PA.
