Drug incidentexposesproblem by Caroline Croley assistant news editor

As we enter the middle of the '90s, drugs are making their way back into the lives of today's youth. Recently, campus security said it uncovered three drug-related incidents on Cabrini's campus in Xavier Hall. Cathy Caulfield, director ofresident life, said, "Even though I cannot speak about the specifics of the incidents, I can say that we are seeing an increase of drug abuse among youths in our schools." She added, "In the past, I think, we seemed to hear that drug incidents were being reported in certain areas of college campuses. Now, it seems like incidents are being found across campuses." In most cases, the police would have been called in. Because of the small amount of illegal substance found, however, security and resident life decided to handle the situation internally. The incidents were reported by concerned .students, who went to Rich KraJle, director of security, and Caulfield, before the investi-

and kept in total confidence, Kralle said. After receiving this information, Caulfield felt a room search for aJI three rooms was necessary. The student handbook clearly states

Rape policy examined by Kelly McDonald co-news editor

Rape is not something uncommon on college campuses. Reported and unreported, acquaintance and stranger, rape has occurred on Cabrini's campus. In Pennsylvania, if a person engages in non-consensual sexual intercourse due to physical force, coercion or threat, actual or implied, the act is considered rape. Alcohol or unconsciousness does not serve as a justification for urJconsented sexual intercourse. If sexual intercourse takes place in any context without consent, it is rape. According to an article in Public Health Reports, MarchApril 1992, of the rapes that occur on college campuses, 84 percent are committed by someone with whom the victim is acquainted, and approximately half are committed on dates. Researchers have suggested

that alcohol use may be a significant factor in rape cases. Three out of five women and two-thirds of men report being involved with an incident of coercive sexual behavior in which alcohol was a contributing factor. When rape is reported on campus, many staff members and facilities are available, to assist the victim in overcoming the trauma incurred.

that, in the case of an emergency, a room search can be warranted. Caulfield said searches are not done on a whim. The school does respect a person's right to privacy.

The students whose rooms were searched strongly felr a room search was unfair and that at least one person should be in the room at the time of the search. Joseph Mumm, a first-year student whose room was searched, said he was not involved. At the time of this search, Mumm said he was upstairs in another room. When he came back, he was told to stay in the room. No one, under any circumstances, was permitted to leave the room until the search had been completed. The search took about 35 minutes, a body search was carried out, and Mumm said his room was thoroughly examined. The security report said a halffull bottle of marijuana_ seeds was found, along with pipe screens, two packs of rolling papers, 30 cans of beer, a 12inch curved knife with cas·e and

Alcoholis not the only drug Is Lorena a cut above Tonya, or does Amy clobber them both? • consumingcampus There has been an alarming increase in the use of marijuana among college students, and it appears Cabrini has been affected. Three recent raids in Xavier produced 4. 7 grams of marijuana, along with drug paraphanalia. Marijuana is an illegal substance, and yet, the police were not called. When students are found drinking on campus, they are written up by an RA or RD, and there is a fine levied upon the student. The student handbook says that when a student is caught with marijuana, he or she is placed on social or resident hall probation but does not receive a fine. Why are students who drink fined monetarily, while students who use drugs are only placed on probation? The risingnumber of studentswho use drugsis disturbing,but the numberfound on Cabrini's campus is even more alarming. The smell of marijuana has been detectedinresidencehallsinthepast,butunlikewithdrinkmg,therearenobottlesorcans to alert an RA to any illegalactivity. There is only the smell. But it is not just the RAs who smell the dope. The other residents in a particular hall do, too. Persons who find themselves in a closed area where marijuana is being smoked can get a "contact high." Nothing like this happens because of others' alcohol use. With marijuana, what is being done behind closed doors may actually creep through the cracks and affect other people. The drug policy is needed on this campus, and it might even need to be stepped up a notch. Why not fine students and place them on probation? The college should come down harder on students who not only harm other students and break the rules, but who break the law as well.

Campus rape affects entire community A topic that affects everyone's life, a subject that cannot be ignored by Kelly McDonald co-news editor

0 Residentlife's roll in campusrapes

Accordingto Directorof ResidentLifeCathy Caulfield, the resident assistants (RAs) are informed about various ways to handle rapes that are reported to them. This is discussed during RA training, where the RAs receive their handbooks, which include a rape/sexual assaultprotocol. This same protocol appears in the emergency proc:eduremanual. The protocol instructs the student or staff member on how to help the rape victim. It discusses such issues as the importance of psychological and medical attention for the victim, home phone numbers of administrators to contact and a definition of rape. Caulfield said it is necessary for RAs to report rapes to resident life. However, it is not necessary to reveal the name of the victim. It is important for rape to be reported to resident life for a number of reasons. The most important reason is so the campus community is aware of what is taking place on campus. "We want our students to be as educated as possible as to the things that are going on, and if rape is not reported, we are unable to do this," Caulfield said. Caulfield said resident life alsowants to make sure victims are dealing with the traumatic aspects of being raped. She said that, because she herself has not been raped, she cannot say what victims feel, bufshe thinks it is not something they can work through completely alone. "There are resources here on campus that

can assist people and provide them with the proper help to work through it," Caulfield said. The timeliness that the crime is reported also influences the part resident life plays. ff a person immediately reports the rape, resident life first tries to calm down the victim and discuss the different options available, such as seeking medicalattention,which they strongly encourage, as well as pressing charges against the alleged perpetrator. , Accordingto Caulfield,she gets as involved as the victim wants. If the victim wants her assistance, she said she will do whatever the person wants and clearly follow up, to make sure the person is doing OK Her main goal ·is to get the victim in touch with professionals, either in the counseling center or at an outside organization.

perpetrator is an acquaintance, it is impossible to know that the rape would occur. Levine said the survivorn~s to realizethe perpetrator is responsible, and when someone rapes another person, the perpetrator is taking control of the situation. After a rape, it is important for the survivor to seek counseling, to help regain con.troland feel safe again. "It is important for a survivor to make decisions again and try to go own with a normal life," Levine said. Things can be even more complicated and hardertoovercomeifthesurvivorisavictimof past abuse, such as rape or child abuse. This could bring on twice the amount of trauma, becauseitstirsupunresolvedfeelingsfromthe past, as well as the current feelings.

Regardless if the person is involved in a hot-and-heavy situation with a date, no means no. From a resident life perspective, if the rape occurs in the victim's room, ~ulfield said she offers the victim a room change. If the perpetrator is an off-campus individual, he is banned from campus. Caulfield said it is difficult for the victim to be on campus with the alleged perpetrator, because the school is so small and contact cannot be avoided. A negative aspect of Cabrini being such a small school is that, when both the victim and the alleged perpetrator are from Cabrini, the victim usually does not press charges.

Levine said unresolved feelings make the healing process that much more complicated. Somepossibleside effectsof rapeare shame, anger, anxiety and depression. Also, depending on who the perpetrator is, the rape could affect intimacy with others, as well as the ability to trust others in a relationship. Levine stressed the importance of seeking counseling and how beneficial it is. "We acceptyou and care about you," Levine said. "We do not blame you for what happened to you." 0 Hospitalprocedure

Second in a series

Exploring religionon campus by Christina Feehan assistant arts & entertainment editor

In the words of SamuelButler,"You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it." At Cabrini,most studentsdo not agree with this quote. In fact, according to the Dec. 20 issueofTime magazine,only about 54 percent of people between the ages of 18 and 26 feel religionis important. Only about 36 percent of people in that same age group attendchurch or some kind of worship center,accordingto Time. These two figuresare evidenton campus when one walks into the chapel andfinds row upon empty row. "I wouldlike to see more people, especially the teachers, attendMass on campus," sophomore Steve Vigliotta said. Vigliotta, who attends Mass regularly,said, "I see Dr. Iadarola· and a few teachers,but it would be nice to see more people there." "When I first taughtat Cabrini,I livedclose to school and I always went to Mass on cam• pus,"Dr. MargaretMcGuinness,associatepro• fessor of religion and chairpersonof the reli• gion department,said. "Now that I live fw:ther away,I go to Mass with my family eachweek, like most of the faculty." Many of the commutersand teachers alike attend Mass at th~irown churches. "I go to Mass each week at home, but since I have come to Cabrini,I have not been there once," first-yearstudentDeniseTancredisaid. The belief in some sort of faith or religion, however, is apparent in a majority of the students. "I do not attend Mass regularlyon campus, but at home, I always go," Jil Appleby, a sophomore,said.'1believein religion,though." "Religion should be a considerationof the students,but I do not think it is," Tancredisaid. "In fact, it is not a factor at all to some." "College studentstend to temporarilystop going to Mass for a variety of reasons," McGuinness said. "Some reasons may be highly personal. Other students may just take this time to explore the many options they have. especially the religion they were raised in." Althoughmoststudentson campusareCatholic,there are somestudentswho are searching for just somethingto believe in. Jenn Yates, a senior, attends church as frequently as possible. She believes "everyone should find his/her own religion. "It 1s different to everyone," Yates said. According to Time magazine, 60 percent of people today are looking for a customized religion. "Religion, at Cabrini, is a kind of free expression," Francesca Bansbach. campus minister. said. ·'According to the Christian philosophy, we have a freedom to express ourselves." "At Cabrini,wehavebeen discoveringhow little the Catholic students know about their Catholicism before they come here," McGuinnesssaid."Wehavedetenninedwhere the gaps are in the curriculumand tried to fill it, to give students more of a background." "Mother Cabrinibegan a Catholic order to follow the gospel, and the Cabrini mission is run in this tradition,"Bansbach said. "In some respects,studentsare awareof this feeling of the Cabrini college tradition, be• cause Dr. John DeTurck says a prayer before every class," Graham Vigliotta, a first-year student said. "The Catholic school feeling is there,but not as muchas ifwe attendedEastern College," Graham Vigliottasaid. Eastern College,our very religiousneigh-

5 bor, is not a Catholic, but a Baptist institution. The majority of.students on campus felt religion was not a considerationof other Stu. dents. Instead, only the students who want to attend church attend. Therefore, it is not an obligationbut something they enjoy on campus. "I feel that the people who go to Mass actuallywant to be there," Vigliottasaid. "It is not an obligation.You cannot force anyone to attendMass. Therefore,we go of our own free w.ill " AttendingMass,whetheror not Cabriniis a Catholic institution, should be an enjoyable, but not required,experience, accordingto the majority of students. "OurschooldoesnotmakeMassanobligation, but a choice," Yates said. "The facilities are wonderful, and there is more potential to expressone's religiousbeliefs on this campus andfeelwelcomed. For studentsat Cabrini,the facilities are always available but may not always be used to their fullest extent." "One of the most important feelings we want to convey is that of a welcoming,"

Bansbachsaid. "We enjoyprovidingthe availability,while not lookingover anyone's shoul• der. We are fostering a supportand a freedom but not an obligation." Studentshave mixed feelingsaboutwhether or not Cabrini feels like a Catholic institution. Some said yes, because there are some teachers who say prayers before class, while others disagreed,because Mass is not an issue forced upon them. "I don't feel as if Cabrini has overly strong rules, even though it is a Catholic college," Tancredi said. Cabrini is run based on the teachings and life of its namesake, Mother Cabrini. The Seminar300class thatis requiredin a student's junior year is a prime example of Cabrini's influence. Although some may disagree,"the atmosphere of community is a definite tie to Mother Cabrini," Appleby said. "We are expected to live day-to-day, ac• cording to Christian principles," Bansbach ·said. "We are expectedto live with·arespect and dignity for one another also," Bansbach said.

Life at Bans University The serial concept that we now call the soap opera first appeared in papers before coming to radio and television. They were eventually knocked out by the comic strip. by Katina Corrao assistant arts & entertainment editor BONS University, snob spelled backwards, is a very exclusive university, located in the heart of Connecticut. Only those who are very rich and whose fathers have good heads for business have the honor of attending this reputable school. Every weekend, parties are given, and only liver pate, caviar and red raspberry champagne are served. The most popular group on campus includes Diamonique Q.V. See, whose father owns a home shopping club, Diamonique's cousin, Lance Cracker III, whose father is president of the American snack corporation and Justin Thyme VI, whose father owns a seasoning company, as well as the largest wall-clock collection in the world. Diamonique had been dating Justin since ninth grade. Their families are very close, and they often gather together for cocktails on Thursday afternoons. Diamonique's parents approve of Justin, since his parents are just as wealthy and "high falutin" as they. Justin and Lance are best friends, so when Diamonique and Justin go out on a date, Lance usually tags along. Diamonique insisted Lance meet· someone at the BONSU. annual Valentine's Day dance. She encouraged him to find someone as wealthy as can be, since, "money buys happiness, and only someone with lots of money is welcomed into our family." Diamonique made all the arrangements. Lance would be meeting Chablis Zinfandel's cousin from out of town. Chablis is Diamonique's roommate, and as you guessed it, her father owns a famous vineyard. Lance felt different from Diamonique. He was sick and tired of meeting rich girls.

Soaps Through Time.

"They are all so money-hungry, " Lance said, "money,jewels and luxuries are all they think about. I want to meet a normal girl from a normal town." Diamonique frowned. Friday night, the night of the dance, finally came. Lance was hoping Cupid would be on his side. He was very nervous about meeting Chablis' cousin. He drove over with Diamonique and Justin. Diamonique kept apologizing about having to take the small limousine. She explained, howeve-r, that the eight-seater had to be washed. Lance was very nervous. "Please, Cupid," he prayed, "let her not be a rich snob!" Lance stepped his foot onto the dance floor and saw a glow of white light across the room. He slowly ran toward the figure and the figure slowly ran toward him. They bumped up against each other, because they forgot to stop. "Lance?" the figure breathed. "Yes, what is your name?" Lance replied. "Patricia Wagonne XI," she answered. "Damn that Cupid[ I didn't want you to be rich. With a name like that, you must be very wealthy," Lance said. Patricia smiled, then broke out into a roaring laugh. "I just pretended to be rich like all you here, because I wanted you to like me," she admitted. "I am not rich, and my father is not an_dhas never has been president of anything. My real name is Patty Wagon. My father is a police officer!" "Thank you, Cupid!" Lance said. And so the lives of the co-eds at BONS University continued to be happy. Until Diamonique got amnesia, Justin's evil twin showed up, and Lance's brother returned from the dead. But this is usual for life at BONS University.

I like "Young and the Restless" on channel six. I have been watching the show since I was five years old. I grew up with it, and the characters kind of became a part of my family. They were my family members. My mom would stay home with me when I was younger, and we would watch them together. It is like a serious show.

Amnesia Evil twins Love triangles Illegitimate children

All these things have been part of the soap opera since the beginning. ~ soap is not a soap without someone suffering from amnesia, an evil twin

I usually watch channel six, and I watch them off and on. It reall)' depends on my work schedule. I started watching "General Hospital" when I was in high school. I grew up on- this show, basically. I also happen to know the writer. A lot of the characters on "General Hospital" are based on real-life doctors over at Bryn Mawr Hospital. I worked at the hospital, so I could associate who was who. Some of the doctors on the show actually have the same names as the doctors in real life. For instance, Dr. Klieger is the same.

Roberta Trinchi, junior My favorite soap opera is "As the World Turns." It keeps you watching, because you never know what is going to happen the next day. It takes me from my own world, even though it is not reality, for a little while.

Cabrini'Cliff'-hanger by Rich Jasper assistant copy editor

The DuMont _network's "Faraway Hill" (1946) and NBC's "These Are My Children" (1949) were among the earliest television soap operas. Neither lasted any longer than five months. Undaunted, TV programmers knew they had something, and they played around with the soap formulalots of good-looking people with lots of horrible problems and lots of organ musicuntil they got it right. Since that time, soap fans have always been somewhat sensitive about having to defend their shows. Absurd things happen in life. Still, where else but on a daytime drama would you find: characters who go to summer camp or boarding school at age 12 and then return- three months later-- looking at least eight years older and having hyperactive sex drives? People in comas who look drop-dead gorgeous? Family members who go outside to walk Sparky, never to be seen again? Don't forget that poor old soul who drives off a cliff, later to miraculously survive and find himself inside the city morgue. Well, once again, die-hard fans will have to defend the "true-to-life" story lines of their favorite daytime dramas. "Monotony Cliffs," a soap written and directed by sophomore Nate Carter, has all the makings of a classic serial: a cheating wife, a sex-craved nun and a jilted lover. There is, however, just one catc- it is not meant to be serious. "The point of' Monotony Cliffs' is to make fun of the fact that soap operas often go over the same story line over and over again," Carter said. "On almost every soap, someone almost always returns from the dead, and 80 different women are pregnant with the same guy's baby." Because Carter's parody was a result of a TV production class assignment, he did not have enough time to write an entire story line. Rather, it was intended to be a "best of" episode. "Monotony Cliffs" revolves around the extremely chaotic lives of six central characters: Cherry Blossom and her secret lover, Brice; Sister Candice Sweet and her object of "divine inspiration," Father Gimmisome and Kaleida Scope,

the psychotic, jilted ex-Jover of the wealthy and obnoxious Mortimer Elemenopee. Each scene is introduced by a "Masterpiece Theate_r-esque" host. "Directing 'Monotony Cliffs' wa·s a lot of fun, especially when the actors would make mistakes," Carter said. "[While filming the parody) we would have to shoot the same scene a lot of times because, there were a lot of' bloopers.'" Senior Heather McAllister, who portrayed Kaleida Scope, attributes many of the 'bloopers' to the time of day Carter and the cast began filming. "The entire thing was done after midnight," ~cAllister said. "You could tell in our eyes how tired we were." Yet, regardless of the hour, junior Danielle DiMarco (Cherry Blossom) thought the entire experience was a lot of fun, even though she and other cast members pulled an all-nighter. "I didn't have my lines memorized, so I had to read from the script placed on the floor," DiMarco said. "And Nate still said I wasn't cheesy enough." Because Carter gets a great deal of satisfaction from making people laugh, the videotaped performance of "Monotony Cliffs" was shown in the Red Cloud coffee house on opening night. Senior Dann Trotter enjoyed the parody. "I thought it was .. .interesting," he said. "It contained all the parts of a soap opera taken to the furthest degree." Brian Mooney, a sophomore, also enjoyed the parody. "I thought it was well done." Mooney said. "The sets were good, and the acting was great." At present, Carter, a professed soap opera fan, does not have any story lines in the making, although he eventually would like to write more scenes. "Writing more episodes would be a lot of fun," Carter said. "Hopefully, when I go home for the summer, I'll be able to concentrate on writing a good script." Will Cherry Blossom return from the dead? Will Sister Candice Sweet ever get Father Gimmisome? And, will Kaleida Scope find her longlost sister, Minty-Fresh Scope? Tune in again for another exciting episode of "Monotony Cliffs."

The treacherous weather of the past two months caused the majority of East Coast business operations and personal incomes to endure hard financial beatings, while some big-car sales and real estate agencies, due to low interest rates and ski resorts, thrived. PECO Energy is one company that struggled during the icy conditions, but in the end, was in the spotlight. The Philadelphia Electric Co. became PECO Energy on Jan. 1, not only by changing its name, but also by preparing its business to compete in the modern utility marketplace. The change to PECO Energy Co. was formally approved by the Philadelphia Electric Company's shareholders, at a company meeting on

April 14, 1993.

Mills denied any motto or moving inspirational speech he embraces. He insists he and the players try to make a "family type of thing." He is originally from Long Island, N.Y. Mills said he likes the Philadelphia area, except for the heavy snow falls he experienced this year and last. "There is no messing around anymore," Lindo Sabatini, a junior midfield/attack, said. "Coach Mills is very motivated, and he wants us to do very well. There will be more people looking at us, now we are a team, an d not a ·club." "We are all leaders," sophomore David Millilo said. "Everybody takes the leadership role, whether we are freshmen or seniors." Many team members are dissatisfied with the conditions of the playing field. Craig recalled the excitement and anticipation he felt last year when a large number of fans watched their games. The first game is home on March 9 at 3 p.m., against Stockton State University.

plagued with pitching problems this past season, which they are seeking to correct.

ONBA

ONHL The Flyers lost to their rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins, 3-0. Mario Lemieux, in his second game since returning from a back problem, scored two goals. The Flyers failed to score during the game, despite six power play opportunities. This loss has the Flyers ranked fifth in the Atlantic Division and seriously hurts their chance of making it to the playoffs. Cl Baseball Michael Jordan signed a minor-league contract with the Chicago White Sox. Jordan gained notoriety while playing with the Chicago Bulls and recently retired. Ron Schuler, general manager of the White Sox, has expressed serious doubts concerning Jordan's ability to play in the majors. "I said it was a million-to-one shot coming in, and I don't think it's changed yet," Schuler said. Jordan used to play baseball in his sophomore and junior years of high school, but dropped it to concentrate on basketball. The exact terms of his salary are unknown, but Jordan will not have to worry financially. He will still collect his $4 million from the Bulls for this year, despite his retirement, plus all the money he collects from endorsements. Jordan reports to spring training as a non-roster player. Closer to home, the Phillies have traded starting pitcher Terry Mulholland to the New York Yankees. The tradi. brings reliever Bobby Munoz and two AA players to the Phillies. The Phillies were

The 76ers beat the Charlotte Hornets 125-117 with the impressive aid of Tim Perry. Perry, now in his fifth season of NBA play, scored more three-pointers in this one game than in any other in his professional career. He hit seven of his 15 three-point attempts and ended the game with a total of 31 points. The Hornets suffered their seventh straight loss. Perry is a forward who came to Philadelphia from the Phoenix Suns. He was part of the trade agreement for Charles Barkley. The New Jersey Nets suffered a defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers, 112104. This loss came in the wake of coach Chuck Daly's selection into the Basketball Hall of Fame. The Nets were . favored in the match-up, since Cleveland announced just before the game that center Brad Daugherty would miss the game due to the flu. The Nets, though, were not up to the challenge. This loss was their fourth in the past 12 games.

ONCAA Villanova braved the winter storm to win against Seton Hall, 65-60. The Wildcats took their third straight Big East win in stride and increased their record to 9-9 overall and 5-6 in the Big East. Villanova trailed by as many as six in the second half before going on a 25-11 run, with just over five minutes lef.t in the game. High scorers for the Wildcats were Kerry Kittles, with 25 points, and Jonathan Haynes, with a season-high of 22.

Off the court, three Michigan players caught on video tape stealing beer pleaded no contest to retail fraud. As a result of their plea, they will be required to perform community service and pay $200 in court fees. Cl The Olympics The Olympics have begun in Lillehammer, Norway, and already the Americans have won a gold medal. Alaskan Tommy Moe won the men's downhill by four-hundreths of a second, edging past hometown favorite Kjetil Aamodt from Norway. The only other American to win a gold medal in the downhill was Bill Johnson, 10 years ago in Sarajevo. Moe came to the Olympics hoping for a medal of any kind and coming off his best World Cup season. Although Moe had never won a World Cup event, he always was near the top. The surprising Americans struck gold again on Wednesday morning, as Diann Roffe-Steinrotter won the women's super G. It was the second gold for the United States in as many days. For the rest of the U.S. contingent, the results were not as good. Dan Jansen slipped as he rounded the final turn of the men's speed skating 500-meter race and plummeted out of medal contention yet again. Luger Duncan Kennedy, another medal hopeful, crashed on his third run, taking him out of contention, and the hockey team tied Slovakia, its second tie in as many games, games in which the Americans were favored to Will.

Tonya Harding will represent the United States in the women's figure skating , which will begin next week. The games continue, as America looks to bring home more medals.

Tap in to Mac

by Bob llllcartney sports editor

As we head into six more weeks of winter, we have the Olympics, the NBA playoffs, the NHL playoffs and March Madness to keep us warm. However, hidden amidall the hype in the world of sports last weekend,

the Phillies traded away Terry Mulholland to the Yankees,and along with it, a good portion of their chance to repeatasNationaltape Champi-

ons. Now, you can argue that Mulholland.isnot thcat big of a loss to the Phillies.Sontesaythat be is only a .500pitcher,but for the past thtce to four years,he hasbeen the ace of the staff. Besides, for three of the last four years,the Phillieswere not a .500 ballclub. So, a .SOOpitcheron a sub.SOO team is not too bad. Last year, Mulholland suffered through someinjury probkms and finishedthe seasonat 12-9with a 3.22 ERA. Thetwobiggestreasonswhy I think the Phillieswill miss TerryMulholland this season have to do with his left ;arm.

Cavs strivefor DivisionIll Tourney by Bob Macartney sports editor

As March quickly approaches, the men's basketball team looks forward to participating in the NCAA Division III Tournament. In order to gain a berth in the tourney, however, the Cavs can ill afford to lose another game. Last week provided Cabrini with two tough games, both at home, against Beaver and Wilmington. Beaver College entered Sacred Heart Gym last Thursday feeling very confident. In the first meeting between the two teams, the Knights of Beaver fell to Cabrini by six points, a very narrow margin for the Cavs, who are used to blowing teams out in the PAC Conference. The rematch began to resemble the first meeting, as Beaver kept the tempo slow and stayed within reach of the Cavs in the first half. The Knights came out strong in the second half, and they even held the lead in the early part of the half. That was when senior point guard Brad Dever took over. Dever drove to the hole for two lay-ups on successive possessions, and Cabrini grabbed the lead back. It was.a lead they would not relinquish. The Cavs raced off to their 10th straight victory, 91-77. The win clinched a playoff spot for Cabrini in the PACs. The game against Wilmington College on Monday, Feb. 14, promised to give the Cavs a tougher challenge. Wilmington entered the game with a 15-5 record. The two teams traded baskets for much of the first half, and the fans at Sacred Heart realized they were in for a treat, a close basketball game. The Cavs made a run right before halftime and entered the locker room with a six-

point lead. Cabrini's full-court press led to a few easy baskets at the beginning of the second half, and the Cavs quickly had a 10-point lead. However, Wilmington refused to relent, and behind the shooting of guard Drue Matthews (17 points), stayed in the game. With Cabrini ahead by eight points, with a few minutes remaining in the game, a questionable call by the referee almost changed the momentum of the game. Wilmington center DaJuan Williams stole a pass an~ headed in for a lay-up. He was fouled from behind by Dever, and the shot went in. Your typical three-point play, right? Wrong. Dever was called for an intentional foul. The basket counted, Will- ' iams got two foul shots and Wilmington had the ball back.

He made one of two foul shots, giving Cabrini a three-point lead, 73-70. However, Wilmington snuck inside for a bucket, trimming the lead to one, with 10 seconds left.

Dever, an 81 percent foul shooter, drained both to put Cabrini back up by three. Wilmington's desperation-three fell short, and the Cavs had their 11th straight win.
