RADNOR, PA – The Cabrini volleyball team closed its regular season on a high note today, as the Cavaliers topped Stevenson 3-2 and Misericordia 3-0 in a tri-match at Nerney Field House. 
 
With the victories, the Blue and White will enter the Atlantic Eat Conference Tournament on a three match win streak with an overall record of 12-17.

Today also marked the program's annual Dig Pink matches. The Cavaliers wore special pink warm-up shirts and sock, with all proceeds from today's action going to Unite for Her, whose mission is to bridge the gap for breast and ovarian cancer patients, focusing on wellness initiatives that will positively impact their health.

Cabrini will now turn its attention to next week's Atlantic East Conference Tournament. As the number one seed, the Blue and White have earned a bye into Thursday's semifinal round against the lowest remaining seed after Tuesday's first round action.
