Cabrini 5, Neumann 1  (October 4th, 2023 | Aston, PA) 
Full Recap | Box Score

The Cavaliers dominated the possession battle, outshooting the Knights 21-1 through three periods of action.

Molly McGee scored the first and second goals of the contest. Right after halftime, McGee lifted a one-timer off a pass from Caroline Gallagher. Minutes later, McGee followed her own rebound to poke in goal number two.

Caroline Gallagher carried right-to-left to find room for a far post strike, nabbing a 53rd minute goal. Adrianna Jones scored the Cavs' fourth goal of the match, as she redirected a Cabrini shot past Neumann's goalkeeper. Late in the contest, Gallagher netted a breakaway goal to cap off the exciting second half.

• Courtney Keith has made every start in goal for the Cavs this season, with a .691 save percentage and a 2.21 goals against average. Keith possesses a career record of 31-22.
• Adrianna Jones and Daly Ewing will be called upon to manufacture offense, each frequently playing in Cabrini's penalty corners. Jones enters play with 71 career points, while Ewing has 50 to her name.
• The Cavaliers welcomed the recent return of Morgan McClintock, who missed a stretch of seven games to injury. McClintock is a steady contributor with her two-way midfield play.
