Radnor, PA - On Tuesday night, Cabrini Women's Soccer hosted the Lady Lions of Penn State Abington.
First Half Action
Cabrini's best goal scoring chance came from a 42nd minute cross. As
Rebekah Cunningham led
Grace Langefeld to the corner, Langefeld carried into the box and sent a pass inside.
Maggie McCay slid to meet the cross, but her attempt bounced off the nearest defender before being gathered by PSU's goalkeeper.
The Lions threatened to score late in the opening period, as their top goalscorer found three first half shots. Her third was a corner kick try that struck the top of the crossbar before clearing the goal frame.
Seven different Cavaliers recorded a shot in the first period, but none found the back of the net.
In her first career start, goalkeeper Kiki Soto kept the Lions off the scoreboard.
Second Half Action
PSU-Abington came out of the break aggressive, logging four shots in the first eleven minutes. Second half goalkeeper
Hailey Bond collected two of the tries while the other two missed high.
In the 54th minute, Cabrini netted the game's only goal. On the sequence,
Gia Rebilas passed to
Erin Ewing across midfield, who then hit ahead to
Alfa Orihuela in space. The Lions' back line couldn't catch Orihuela, as her right footed strike found the right side of the goal.
The Cavaliers created four more shots to close the match, but walked away with the 1-0 victory to conclude the regular season.
