Anarchy the SGA
1n
Standingon the sidelines
The Student Government Association, doubled over from the blows of the cancellation of Haunted House and the disciplinary action taken against junior John Lindsay, chair of the CAP (Campus Activities and Programming) board, is internally decaying before the eyes of the entire student body. There are many reasons for the cancellation of Haunted House such as problems with college relations sending out press releases about the event, a lack of participation from the residents of Xavier Hall, a small amount of planning time for the special events chair and the fact that there is no director of student activities. However, instead of effectively dealing with the problems at hand, the executive board has chosen to abandon its professionalism and revert ro the high school politics of blame-shifting and pulling rank . During the 1994-95 school year, the programming board flourished. This was prior to its being subject to SGA, whose jurisdiction it is now under. The reason for this was due to the guidelines set forth in the new constitution. Nonetheless the intervention of SGA has caused definite problems. Should the CAP board remain under the jurisdiction of SGA, or are the guidelines of the constitution at fault? The constitution is unclear in the areas where the CAP board is concerned. The CAP board should not be associated with SGA, especially now that a new director of student activities has been appointed. However, this is only one of the steps SGA needs toward a major overhaul and one that is deserved by the members of the college community. The executive and programming boards need to consult with their members and adviser, John Dzik, and take a long hard look at themselves and begin to worktogether for the restoration of an effectiv.e .SGA.

Stephanie Caldwell, cosports editor
The whistle blows. Crisp, clean passes are made as the players in blue and white weave up the field with perfection toward the net of the oppositio~, bombarding the goalkeeper with shots. After much hard work, the offense scores. On defense they are unbreakable. Together they are a team. The fans, mostly parents, cheer. Happily they all leave the field knowing they accomplished something. Together they won as a team. The whistle blows. Those in blue and white run the field bewildered and unorganized. Passes do not connect and shots are few. The offense is no where to be found. The defense is tired and eventually beat. Again, they are a team, but do not look like one. Again the fans cheer, but this time to only comfort. The players leave the field with a feeling of only defeat. Together, they lose as a team. Through both of these situations, I am there. I yell instructions as well as encouragement. I try to correct, as well as congratulate. I give high fives in victories and take the coaches' criticism in defeats personally. I feel the joy of accomplishment as well as the agony of defeat. Only for me, it is different. All of this happens to me from the sidelines. When I broke my ankle this season in soccer practice, I
never knew how much I would miss the running, the boring practices, the playing in the rain, the long road trips or grass stains on my uniform. I never realized I would actually miss head balls, which I dread, or slide tackles. I dreaded camp in August, but would give almost anything to have it back right now. Frustration set in very quick! y. I want to be on that field. I want to be a part of when we win and try to help when we are losing. I want so badly to help, but I am succumbed to the sidelines. I see all that goes right and all that goes wrong, which is probably why I am so frustrated. Often when I see something that goes wrong on the field, l turn my back only to be frustrated more. I see and hear my mom cheering for the team, only I am not out there. She still comes to every game possible, and although it frustrates me to see her sitting there, it is my only comfort throughout this whole situation. Even after I broke my ankle, I was elected co-captain. I took the position willingly, hoping I would be back for at least a couple of games at the end of the season. No such luck. After several games into the season, I decided I would concentrate entirely on my schoolwork and attend games only when I could. Because I am very busy this semester I thought I could keep my mind off of soccer. I think I was looking for something to distract me from the fact that I could not play, from the frustration. It did not work. Nothing right now can help. I am still very involved, trying to be supportive without showing my frustrations. I do not know how well I am doing but I am trying my best with this whole situation.
They say you don't know what you got 'ti! it's gone. I never thought that could be applied to a sport. You here that phrase often when it comes to a person, to someone you depend on. Well, I depended on soccer. I depended on it because of the running and the exercise. I depended on it because it allowed me to forget all my troubles for just a little while and have fun. I depended on it because of the fact that it kept me busy. Not that I have much free time on my hands. But most of all, I think I depended on it because of the people. I made some great friendships through sports, especially through playing soccer at Cabrini. I have made friendships that are still strong off the field but would not have developed if it were not for the fact that we were teammates first. I took advantage of being part of a team. It is a great feeling to be with people who will remain with you no matter what happens. When you win, they celebrate with you, and when you lose, they pick you up. Soccer was something I considered a privilege. I took it for granted. I complained to no end about it, but I would give almost anything to have it back right now. My frustrations are still here and probably will be until next season. I never before actually looked forward to soccer season. However, I know that when I step on that field next August, the mud on my cleats will definitely be welcomed.

Generationnext: A studenttakes up arms Thomas McKee, sophomore
.Carpe diem. From the day I first heard them, these words have had an impact on my life. Seize the day. All human beings are given the opportunity to make their marks on the world. It is those who decide to take advantage of their opportunities that distinguish themselves from the rest of mankind. Growing up, I had always worried that I would not get the chance to leave my mark. It wasn't until I began to understand the concept of seizing the day that I realized we create our own opportunities. If I wanted to make an impact on our society, I could. begin any time I wanted to. I soon realized that everybody leave·s their marks on the world. It is impossible not to. Our mere existence guarantees that in some small way we will have an effect on the world around us. I want to change the world. I realize that this is a lofty goal. In fact, people have told me that it is impossible. The fact is, the world needs a change. Let's face it. Our country, our world is in a state of rapid decline. The future does not look promising. I am that future.
We are that future. Seize the day. The future is now. Even I, the greatest procrastinator of all time, must admit that we can no longer afford to "do it tomorrow." The fact is, tomorrow is today. It is a state of desperation . As our society is being torn apart by the social ills that plague our country, we sit idly by and admire the scenery. Every generation blames the previous generation for the state of our world. It is only natural. We only know that we are not respo~sible for the world's problems, so it must have been our parents who ruined things. Likewise, each generation has no faith in the abilities of the forthcoming generation. Our grandparents' generation, and even our parents' generation have little, if any, faith in our abilities. People often refer to Generation X in ·a negative way. In effect, what we are doing is nothing more than blaming the victim. More children are born into this world each day. They did not ask to be brought into this world. It was a choice made by their parents. Eventually, these children will be blamed for the state of the world. In keeping with the grand cycle of things, members of Generation X will soon be complaining about the generation that follows. This is our problem. We live in a "pass-the-buck" society. No one is willing to accept
the fact that it is.humanity as a whole, and not a particular generation that is responsible for the world's problems. The buck stops here. I am proud to be a member of Generation X, and I am ready to accept the monumental task of leading this country into the 21st century. I am ready to face the world's problems head on. I hope that I am not alone. Seize the day. I say this not as a command, but rather as a desperate plea to my generation. This is a call to arms. It is time for us to assume our role as future leaders. We have the ability to change the world. It is not impossible. It can be done, but we must work together, and we must begin now. We must create our opportunities and take advantage of them. The opportunities are there, but no one will teach us how to find them. We must find them on our own. This is just one of the many steps involved in becoming a leader for the future. There is no timetable for change. We must accomplish what we can and hope that future generations will con.tinue where we left off. Our parents, while still making their contributions, have left their marks on our world. Now, it is our turn. We can not afford to make any mistakes. There is no time for practice. We are walking the tightrope of life and there is no safety net. Our time has come. We cannot let each other down. Seize the day.
On Monday, Oct. 16, a profound statement was made by over 400,000 African-American men from all over the country. Regardless of who led them to the Capitol, the fact remains that the march was an important step toward healing the wounds of the nation. Some students give their reactions to the event and its importance.
Nicole Hartmann, a sophomore: "I hope that progress will be made, and I think that it was a great cause."
Celene Wright, a st..nior: People criticize black communities by saying that we kill each other and calling attention to drug and unemploymentproblems; but when we come together to address these problems, we are criticized because only African-American men were invited. I think that the Million Man March was a wonderful and powerful event that worked to bring black communities together.
Rob Marish, a junior: "I've tried to find out as much as I can about the whole situation; but my ignorance is keeping my mouth shut."

The newcomers were then introduced and followed by the seasoned veterans. • The night ended rather abruptly after the short scrimmage. Many questioned the abruptness of the evening. "It didn't seem as if it was as organized as it should have been," Collins said. However, some thought the evening went rather well. Seniors Brant Sheldon and Kevin Besemer said simultaneously, "Any time we can get free food and soda, we can't complain." The evening was well attended by the campus community, and while some said they felt it was _notas well organized as it shoul~ have been, others said they felt it brought the community together. "You could feel the energy of the campus community coming together," senior Beth Curry said. "We were held together by one strong cause that makes us all stand out from the rest of the crowd."
Legends haunt the news by Thomas McKee staff writer
Don Polec's wacky news segments have entertained viewers nf" Action News" for years. Polee brought his zany antics to Cabrini College Wednesday, Oct. 25. Polee, a reporter for "Action News," was in the mansion filming a segment about the Cabrini College legends. Polee interviewed Nancy Costello, special assistant to the president for mission integration, and Joyce McKeough, who works in the business office.
According to Polee, his interest in the Cabrini legends rests mainly in the fact that they stand out from other "Halloween stories." "This is a true legend," Polee said, "not just another novelty haunted house." Polee also used several students in the segment. Senior Stephanie Bieg,juniors Paul Marturano,Dennis Fohner, Christa Gervasi and Marie Barrett, as well as sophomore Tom McKee all had a hand in the completion of the segment. According to Noreen Jameison, college relations specialist, Polee was made aware of the legends
when Lisa Bogia, former director of college relations, sent a press release concerning the legends to "Action News." The segment will air at the end of the "Six o'clock News" on Monday, Oct. 30. Dr. Carter Craigie, former professor of English and communications, will be retelling the Cabrini legends on Monday, Oct. 30 for the benefit of the students who have not yet heard them. While the evening is being geared toward the firstayearstudents, all are welcome tQattend. The place and time have yet to be determined.

2 5 years of history in one mind by Kathy S. Cephas perspectives editor
A cornerstone of Cabrini College, Dr. Carte·r Craigie, former professor of English and communications, has not let a story or juicy tidbit ever escape his 1-:.igerears. Craigie started the tradition of sharing the legends of the college with all of .those who have crossed its path. • "The girls would tell me stories when I taught them, and I just went asking around from there getting little snatcbes from here and there," Craigie said. When asked about the importance of keeping the tradition of sharing the legends of Cabrini, Craigie reflected. "Eve~y.year I get new bits and pieces from the alumni, and it just makes our school special," Craigie said. "Other colleges have legends and lore, and we have ours. I have been doing it for over 20 years, and the stories are just fun to know." . When asked about the birth of the Folklife Studies classes that he created, Craigie responded that the kids knew he would be interested in the telling of all the stories. "A_ndthey're all true," Craigie said. "Grace Hall used to be a women's dorm and we used to Dr.CarterCralgi6 have dances in the cafeteria or in an old place called "The Inn of the Four Falls," Craigie said elaborating on how the college has changed during his 25 years te~ching here. "There was none of this rent-out-a-hotel thing. We used to have dances in the mansion until Sister Mary Louise Sullivan told us we couldn't," Craigie said. "Back then you knew everyone on the entire campus. There were only about 7U students then. There were fewer classes, teachers and adjunct faculty. I was only hired to teach one class, Minority Groups in American Subcultures. Then, i ,1 the second semester of that year, I began to teach Introduction to Folklife Studies, and I taught it every year after," Craigie said. Regrettably, not all of the changes that have occurred since Craigie began '11:rehave been for the better. "The campus used to be a lot nicer," Craigie said. "There was a lot more , ..:~peer for the grounds and· the rooms. We could not figure out the weird vandalism." Directly after retiring Craigie took the big jump from one side of the cl ass room to the other. Sitting on the opposite side of the classroom as a student t.iking classes in biology and Spanish, Craigie now has an even more unique Jh.:rspective on the way college students live. "Some people tell you that [college) students today don't work as hard as 1heir parents did when they were in school. I am not convinced of that," Craigie said. "The ones that work hard are working just as hard as their parents did before. They probably party just as hard as they did too," Craigi~ said. When asked about what life is like now as a student, Craigie was his dfervescent self. "I don't see how students your age do it," Craigie said. "You stay up, talk, party, drink, get into trouble, drink beer, [participate in) athletics, belong to dubs, and still find time to do your schoolwork. I don't see how you do it. I'm in bed every night by 10 p.m." Craigie will be telling the Cabrini College legends Monday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. in the mansion.

From Grace Hall to Xavier Hall, _Cabrini students have reached out to their community with the annual Haunted House. "It is a long-standing tradition which is put together every year by Cabrini students in order to reach out to the community," Dr. Robert Bonfiglio, vice president of student development, said. Haunted House is one way the Student Government Association attempts to serve the neighbors of the college and to help raise money for the CAP (Campus Activities and Programming) board. "It is a great opportunity for families and friends to visit the campus," Bonfiglio said. • When Haunted House first began about 15 years ago it was held first in the theater and then on the second floor of Grace Hall, which used to be known as Counsel Hall. Studentsused to live therebefore the rooms were converted into faculty offices. Before the atrium was built, there used to be a wide open courtyard in the shape of the letter "U," with a big fountain in the middle where students used to make a human-size spider web out of rope. A man by the name of Gary Armstrong, who worked in the art department at the time, helped students construct the human-size web. "The students would stand on

Prehistory: Cabrini beforethe college by Kevin Eppler staff writer Students tread upon Cabrini's campus each and every day with • little knowledge of the history embedded in the soil beneath their feet. Buildings seem merely structures full of classrooms and hallways; a place to go to class and fight to stay academically alive or simply awake. But, if one looks closer, he or she can hear the whisper of history through the tall trees and thick walls·n~rrating a curious tale. Any eyes can gaze upon Cabrini's "110 rolling acres,",but how many of those eyes realize there were originally 230 flowing acres? Not all. How many field hockey players or lacrosse players realize that they practice and play. on what used to be a cultivated strawberry patch? Yes, it's true. The campus has undergone tremendous change over the past 94 years. In 1901, architect Horace

Apparently nothing went wrong because when Strange Sun played in the Red Ooud Coffeehouse on Sunday, Oct. ·22, people listened...125 people-tobe exact.

Cabrini College. Not only was the upper athletic field a strawberry patch, but the parking Jot between the lower and upper athletic fields consisted of three huge greenhouses. Grace Hall had a beautiful courtyard surrounded by a magnificent stone wall, within which dances, plays and campus events occurred. The land now occupied by the houses and Residential Boulevard was originally a huge orchard thriving of fruit and vegetation. The campus even had its own water tower located north of Grace Hall just past the athletic field. The first non-original building was added in 1961 when Sacred Heart Hall was opened. The chemistry lab replaced a squash (the game) court. The library was located on the bottom floor. The first cafeteria was not in Sacred Heart, it was, instead, lo-
cated in the mansion dining hall. The first chapel, which replaced the Dorrances' family library, was located where? the business offices presently reside. The Missionary Sisters' quarters, or the right wing of the mansion toward the library, were originally the Dorrances' servant's quarters. Those curious concrete slabs that form random square patterns on the ground between the mansion and the library are not some abstract art exhibit, but are the remains of a large dog kennel. Perhaps the best way to describe Cabrini in its early stages (late 1950s) is how Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy, described the Woodcrest Estate, a "self-contained city." Indeed, Cabrini has endured many changes and many changes lie ahead. It is no longer a selfcontained city in the modern sense, but it is still thriving and changing.

After its hour-plus set, Strange Sun received a standing ovationfrom friends,families and peers. "When that void from performing was filled with applause, it just lifted me to cloud nine," Eppler said. ''It was the best feeling that I havehad in my entire life ... so far," Eppler said.

We raised money ourselves by having car washes, and we lined our own fields," Craigie said. McGee was the first cross-country coach. "We were a coed team with about eight runners." McGee said. The team also did a lot of its own work as a team. "We bought our own uniforms and we scheduled the meets we participated in," McGee said. McGee described the team's first meet. "We had about 15 teams at the meet," McGee said. "We had four runners, and we came home with trophies." "I provided the opportunity to let the kids run," McGee said. McGee coached for two years. Then he recommended that the school hire someone with more experience. "I am happy to see the program grow," McGee said. Many of Cabrini's teams are successful due to the support from faculty members such as Craigie, McGee and Girard. When Dzik was hired as athletic director, the athletic department went in a new direction. "Since I've been hired, we started eight new sports," Dzik said. In 1980, teams included men's basketball, tennis and cross country. Today the program has almost doubled with teams such as golf, lacrosse, track, junior varsity basketball and soccer. "This was a lot of expansion for a school our size," Dzik said. The budget has also grown since 1974. "We have finally caught up with where we should be," Dzik said. Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, college president, has supported the growth of the athletic program. "I have good things· to say about Dr. Iadarola's support and commitment to the athletic department," Dzik said. "I feel really good about the athletic program and where it's going," Dzik said. "Our coaches are very dedicated. That means a lot." The department is definitely on the rise. Right now, 20 percent of undergraduates participate in athletics. Dzik mentioned this department offers major areas of growth. Most of this solid growth is anticipated with the coming of the new sports complex.

Many students are proud members of sports teams while at Cabrini. Cabrini's athletic program has grown over the years. Some teams started as clubs. Now, the college is preparing to increase athletics by building a state of the art sports complex to give students a chance to expericnce sports The Cavalier spirit started in the mid 1970s. Dr. Jolyon Girard, professor of history, was an active member in the groundwork for the athletic department. ·'The sports teams started with a group of kids wanting to play basketball," Girard -;aid. "They asked me to coach the team, and we went to the championship." Girard's involvement with sports did not end there. He became the men's ath: letic director in the 1974-75 school year When the basketball team was formed 1111974, it needed a name and uniforms. "I gave the baskeLball players a week to pick a name for the team," Girard said. "They never came up with anything. So I picked 11myself. The University of Virginia teams were called the Cavaliers. The name Cavs \\ as used during the English Civil War. They were Catholics who supported Charles I." According to Girard, the colors of the uniforms went along with the school colnrs of blue and white. When the uniforms were rpade, the color blue w.as changed 1 rom pale blue to royal blue. The team paid for its own uniforms. "We raised money ourselves for the uniforms and for the officials," Girard said. ··Most of the money was collected before the game, at the gate." Within four or five years the athletic Jepartment joined the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. More male ,tudents were attending Cabrini, which made the athletic program grow. "I felt the administration verbally supported the program," Girard said. "I compared our athletic budget with other schools in the area. We had the lowest operating budget." In 1980 Girard said he felt the program had grown too much for him to handle. He :-.aidhe felt the program deserved someone full time. At this time, Cabrini hired Coach John Dzik. "Dzik has done an outstanding 1ob," Girard said. "Hiring D?ik was the hest thing the college could do for the athletic program." Girard was not alone in creating the Cavalier spirit. Faculty members such as Robert McGee, associate professor of mathematics, and Dr. Carter Craigie, former professor of English and communications, also played an important role in Pictured are some of Cabrini's first sports teams. further developing the athletic department.

Masses unite in marchfor solidarity by Caroline Croley photography editor
Cabrini students joined the mass of people inthe nation' scapital, heeding a call for personal atonement and racial solidarity. An estimated 200,000 to 800,000 African-American men joined Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation oflslam, on Oct. 15 to march for stronger leadership in the black community. According to The New York Times, !'The day-long rally was marked by a spirit of individual re~olve as much as dramatic protest, with speecpes by many prominent blacks, including the poet Maya Angelou and the Rev. Jesse Jackson." "The purpose of the Million Man March was a day of unity and pride for black men. It was a time to come together in a peaceful way in a day of atonement," senior Rich Grace, who attended the event, said. "Before I went to the march,J honestly thought that it would not be as peaceful. As the day drew nearer, however, it became more and more special to me," Grace said. "You could feel the peacefulness and the unity in Washington that day. Nothing got out of hand. It was like a family. Everyone got the chance to meet people from all over the country."
Eric Tidwell, a senior, said the day proved to be a positive one because, "when people portray black males, they see killings and crime. Black males can get together and do something positive." "We are gathered here to collect ourselves for a responsibility that God is placing on our shoulders to move this nation toward a more perfect union," Farrakhan said in an article, as reported by The New York Times. Tidwell and Mike Saunders, a first-year student, also attended the event. They agreed with Grace that the march was part of God's plan.

"It was also a day to recognize the problems in the African-American communities and the need to solve them," Saunders said. Saunders also said that the day reminded them how God is in everyone's life. "The day was spiritual. It was like God was really looking over all of us," he said. Grace said when he left the march around 5 p.m., he hoped that the black men would take the spirit of the day home with them to their families and to.their black communities.

Students get acquainted with Cabrini by BIiiy Myers staff writer High school seniors crowded Cabrini's campus for the annual "Get Acquainted Day." The admissions department held this event on Sunday, Oct, 22. According to Paul Weaver, the admissions counselor responsible for coordinating the day's events, the turnout of 100 students was expected. The day started with a formal gathering in Grace Hall. Students and parents were lhen split into two groups. The parents ---~resent to the Widener Center Lecture Hall. In a last minute change, 'due to a lack of communication between the admissions department and the theater department, the students were moved from the Red Cloud Coffeehouse to the conference room. At the parents' meeting, the topics most stressed by the panel were Cabrini's attitude and mission as well as the size of Cabrini. The parents were more interested
in learning whether commuters are at school as much as residents. According to Nancy Gardner, executive director of admissions, there is an equal balance of commuters, 46 percent, and residents, 54 percent. There are even students who are commonly known as "resi-muters," commuters who frequently spend the night in their friends' rooms. Students and their parents spent most of the day visiting with teachers from specific departments. Among the departments involved were English and communications, business and education. Some of these sessions ran longer than expected, causing a setback to the proceedings. According to parents and prospective students, the departmental section of the day was the most comfortable. A one-on-one atmosphere was created by all departments. Professors allowed time

for questions and were direct in their responses without beating around the bush. Following the session with the individual departments, students and parents were invited to take a tour of the campus. The tours were hosted by Cabrini students, most of whom were supplied by admissions. "The day is going rather well," junior Rich Schepis said. "The strangest question asked was dealing with living arrangements and sexual preference." According to most of the prospective students, they found out more about the "real" college by taking a tour of the campus and talking to current students. Kelly Stephan and Leslie Shute, seniors from Paul VI High School in Haddonfield, NJ, were among the many students who were looking for a small school. "I need the attention that a small
school has to offer," Shute said. Cabrini prides itself on being a small school, but some students, like high school senior Eric Krakowski, wondered if Cabrini is "a little too small." Throughout the course of the day, questions ranged from sports to student-teacher ratio to financial aid. The most asked question of the day was, "How's the food?" There were minor setbacks to the overall "smooth" day. Yet, Weaver said the day went rather smoothly. One setback was miscommunication between admissions and the coffeehouse in reserving certain rooms. Another drawback was the length of the tours. Some of the tours ran over an hour long, according to sophomore Lisa Mininno, tour guide. According to several parents, students, and English and communications' departments chairperson, Dr. Jerome Zurek, Cabrini gives a sense of "being a person not just a number."

Cavs'victoryover EasternCollege,2-1 , secures homefieldadvantagein PAC championship game by Jeanne Lombardo staff writer
The Cabrinimen's soccerteam's win over Eastern College may have .1ppeared to be just another victory in an already successful season. I f owever, its 2-1 victory secured a 1mme field advantage in the Penn, y lvania Athletic Conference -.:hampionships. Before the game, senior Steve Vigliotta said that in order for the ( ·avs to win, they needed to score ..:arlyto set the tempo of the game. Vigliotta's strategy could not have 1,~en more correct. Fifteen minutes into the first hJlfofthe game, senior co-captain KenKonopka scored the first goal, .i<;sistedby senior co-captain Billy Bono. As usual co-captain junior Jeff
Winters and first-year student Paul Hollinger anchored the defense. Although both Cabrini and Eastern played a good defensive game, there were many close calls for the Cavs, especially in the second half. Eastern's JimmyHenderson"bicycle kicked" the ball over the net in the middle of the second half. Pressurewas building and the Cavs cracked. Eastem's Micah Heitz scored, deadlocking the game at 11 with only 10 minutes remaining in the game. Tempers flared and despite several attempts made by the Cavs, the game went into overtime. Early in overtime,Hollingersent the ball right over the open net. It was obvious that the Cavs were controlling the tempo of overtime not only through their attempts to score, but also by slowing up sev-
era! of Eastern' s plays. Finany their hard work paid off. First-year student Paul Donaghy scored the winning goal, assisted by first-year student Don Eadie, leaving the final score at 2-1. Reactions to the game varied, but Donaghy's name came up more than once. "PaulDonaghyplayedexceptionally well and without him we wouldn't have w_onthe game," junior JohnVolpesaid.SeniorJoe Ricci agreed. "He went in there and he wasn't scared. I told him he was going to score and that's what he did," Ricci said. Ricci also commented on what areas he thoughtthe Cavsneededto improve in before they play in the PAC championships. "We get somanyopportunitiesto
score, but we've only been gettinga few in. We shouldbe scoringmore. I think we need to makeuse of those opportunities,"Ricci said. Manyplayersareoptimisticabout possiblyreceivingthe PAC title for the third year in a row. "We'll win the championship. There's no doubt in my mind," Vigliottasaid. "If we keep playing tough and keep giving 100 percent,we'll definitelywinthe championshipsagain," Bono said. The Cavs haveeveryreasonto be so optimistic. TheirPAC recordfor this seasonis 5-0-1,and their overall record is 12-3-2. According to Konopka, part of the reason for the Cavs' successthis year is due to the fact that the team recruited well. And it has shown. Not only does this year's team have
an impressive set of records, but they havealso defeatedMillersville University and West Chester University, two division II teams. Even Coach Wayne Rasmussen of the Eastern Eagles, had admitted prior to Thursday's game that the Cabrini men's soccer team has beendoingextremelywell this year. "We 're doingeverythingwe can to prepare because Cabrini is a tough opponent," Rasmussen said. On more than one occasion Duncan Hubley, the Cabrini men's soccer coach, has commented on this year's team. ·Hubley said that this year's team is the most powerful team he has ever coached. According to Hubley, the Cabrini Cavs are looking forward to winning their third PAC title. Playoffs begin ·on Nov. 1.
