TWO FIRST HALF GOALS LEAD CABRINI TO 2-0 WIN OVER WILKES FIELD HOCKEY

RADNOR, PA – Host Cabrini College scored twice in the first half and held the Wilkes University offense at bay throughout on way to a 2-0 non-conference victory Tuesday afternoon.

Wilkes falls to 1-7 overall on the year while Cabrini improves to 5-4 on the season.

Cabrini took a 1-0 lead after Lindsey Atzert scored off a rebound at the 7:34 mark of the opening half. The lead grew to 2-0 at the 15:56 mark when Lauren Alessi knocked in a loose ball after a Lindsey Davenport (Dallas, PA/Dallas) save on an Atzert shot attempt.

That's all the scoring the Cavaliers needed holding the Lady Colonels to just four shots, one being on goal in the contest. Wilkes had several opportunities in their scoring end garnering 10 penalty corners to Cabrini's seven attempts.

Davenport finished with six saves in net for Wilkes, while Cabrini goalie Genevieve Paulin made one stop to record the shutout.

Wilkes will return to Freedom Conference play Friday when the Lady Colonels host Delaware Valley College at Schmidt Stadium at 7:00 p.m. The game will also feature Wilkes' “Play for the Cure” night. “Play 4 the Cure” was created by Mystx Field Hockey Club founder, director and coach Tina Reinrect who began the movement with an indoor field hockey tournament in Feasterville, Pa. With October as the height of the field hockey season and Breast Cancer Awareness month, Reinrect began a movement to declare within the field hockey community that October is Play 4 the Cure month. Since that first tournament, hundreds of middle school, high school, college and club teams have joined the cause.
