John Gardner is coming to Cabrini and he's bringing a rather lengthy resume along with him. Gardner, an author, educator, public speaker, consultant, change agent and university administrator, just to name a few, will be speaking at Cabrini College on Monday, April 22, as part of the CARe Center's 20th anniversary celebration. Gardner, a nationally recognized expert in the field of the freshman-year experience and the senior-year experience, will make three separate speeches dealing with various aspects of the college experience. The first speech, concerning the senior- year experience, will begin at 11 a.m. This speech will be followed by a speech
geared toward first-year students, beginning at 1:30 p.m. and ending at 3:30 p.m. Gardner's final speech is entitled "Community Session: The College Student of the Late 1990s" and will begin at 3:30 p.m. and end at 5 p.m. Gardner is the director of the Freshman-Year Experience at the University of South Carolina. This program includes University 101, the nationally recognized and widely imitated freshman seminar program. Gardner has also served as a workshop leader in over 250 faculty development workshops and ~as spoken at more than 250 campuses in five different countries. Students who wish to attend any of Gardner's speeches should call the enrollment management office at 902-8302 to reserve a place.

L--E_d_ito_r_ia_l __ -------... ........... I Vie~point • Maximum dedication plus minimal monetary donation equals new academic motivation ·with so many incidents. of violence between students littering the news today, it is refreshing to see students on Cabrini's campus who are providing educational support to their peers. Next Monday the Center for Academic Reinforcement will celebrate 20 years of providing a support system for those who are struggling academically. There are two reasons the CARe Center has thrived from the initial $25 investment 20 years ago: the consistent support of the faculty and the generous donation of time from student volunteers. Staffed largely by students, the CARe Center provides tutoring by both peer and professional tutors, teaching academic skills and providing support and enrichment in the basic skills of mathematics and writing. The establishment of the CARe Center by Dr. Arthur Young, director of the CARe Center and professor of English and communications, is al) example of how the faculty is dedicated to its students and is truly concerned with their academic needs. With just $25 and a vision of academic excellence, Young has created an outlet for those who were falling behind academically to feel good about themselves while they strengthen their academic skills. Even now, 20 years later, students are still finding their way to the CARe Center when .problems arise with foreign languages, writing, math or any other classes they might have. If only Young were given the millions of dollars that has been allotted for the sports complex and recreation center, who knows what the CARe Center could have accomplished? The CARe Center and its staff are demonstrating that they have what it takes to let Cabrini students "Stand out from the crowd." Loquitur is established as a forum for student expression and as a voice in the uninhibited, robust, free and open discussion of issues. FAIiorIn Cllief KilmcrlySlieldloo

the pressures of man and his interpretation of life's meaning and purpose. Nature is simple yet complex. It is a world in which man forgets to cherish and study his being. Man gets caught up in the materialistic world, cherishing only possessions of his own. Nature is all of man's, yet man seems to destroy rather than accept nature's flaws and celebrate its true beauty. Emerson said he believes in the "universal decay and now almost death of faith in society," where man has abused nature and is losing faith in himself. I believe faith is not dying within society but has not continued to evolve. My religious education did not leave a lasting impression on my spiritual growth. In the church's many • attempts to educate me on the practices of Catholicism, I became frustrated and discouraged as its interpretations became hypocritical. So as I fight through an angry society, with everyone having to fight for a cause, I seek for an outlet to understand my true being and purpose in the world. The priests within the religion I was raised gave me no hope. Therefore, only nature will allow me to make my own judgments and develop my own beliefs. My faith is being restored as I develop my education and seek other means to justify my purpose and develop my inner being.

When the lightscameup at 12:35am., 25 minutesbeforethe spring formalwas scheduledto end, Cabrinistudentswere infonnedthat their nightwas comingto a prematureclosebecausean unidentifiedstudent allegedlyassaulteda manager of the Radnor Hotel. This was quite unfortunatefor membersof theseniorclasswhohadgatheredforonelast dancewith theirclassmates.Howdid therest of thosein attendancefeel?
Kerry Ruane, a senior : "I was kind of upset that we· were kicked out because I am a senior and it was my last fonnal. Other than what happenedI was having a wonderful time."
DavidNothstein,a first-yearstudent: ''I was not having a good time at the formal because the area was very cramped but I was upset that money was Jost because of one person acting immature. It was not fair for one person to ruin it for all of us."
Letters to the editor:
Jamie Fagan, a fust-year student: "I can understand why we had to leave because a manager was assaulted. I just thought that it was very immaturewhoever did it. It would have been better if that individual were made to leave and not everyone else."
Counselingcenter here for students To the editor: I want to thank Allyson Hannigan and Mirella Addesi for their moving and powerful piece on eating disorders in the March 22 issue of the Loquitur. I especially want to thank "Anna" for her willingness to share with us a glimpse into the nightmare ofliving with an eating disorder. I know her words have deeply touched many people in our community. Anna poignantly described the gradua! and pervasive fear of becoming fat that women and men with eating disorders develop. The shift she described from an act that
was "the easiest thing to do" and that she felt she controlled, to an all-consuming,completely-out-ofcontrol way oflife, is at the heart of these disorders. Allyson and Mirella conveyed not only this fierce struggle, but also the terrible emotionaland physical health risks that accompany anorexia and bulimia. Anna stated she wouldn't get better until she decided she wanted to, which is true. She also said this "is a battle that I have to fight by myself,"which is not true. Recovery is hard but possible, and help is available. The staff at Cabrini's counseling services have
experience working with people with eating disorders. If you need, or want, more intensive treatment, we can also help you find the help that will best meet your needs. The most important thing to know is you do not have to struggle with these issues alone. Counseling services offices are located in the Rooymans Center, and our phone number is 902-8561. Please call. We're here for you.
Tara Gilpin, a sophomore: "People at Cabrini should know better. I thought it was really stupid and immature of someone who could not drink responsibly. I am embarrassed to go here."
Sincerely, Heidi Levine, Ph.D. director of counseling services

assistantperspectiveseditor Through an evaluation process,
17 students and three alternates were selected to the residential life staff for the 1996 to 1997 school year. Six current residel)tassistants will return to fill out the staff. The new members are sophomores Colleen Adair, Kevin Eppler, Shayla Hasic, Marie Koski, Theresa McFadden, Paul Monte, Tara Pfeiffenberger, Trish Ricci, Tanisha Rufus, Denise Sacca and Gina Sand• ers. With the experience of the six returning R.A.s, juniors Marianne Gowen, Dan Lorenz, Stephanie Miller, Rose Rodner, Sis Slater and Sue Swoyer, the_residentiallife staff is getting prepared for the next school year. The three alternates chosen are sophomores Anne Hieronimus, Maura McMullen and Chris Schmid.
"I know being an R.A. will take up a lot of time," Ricci said. "I also will have to be creative in the pro,. grams, and my judgment will be tested in different situations." Sanders said she is developing her expectations of what next year will bring to her. "The number-one priority is the time it will take up," Sanders said. "It will also be a great learning experience and a lot of fun."

Missionary Sisters serve world by Stephanie Sarosky assistant copy editor The sisters who reside at Cabrini College offer their services to both Cabrini's campus and to the community. Five sisters live on Cabrini's campus in what used to be the servants' quarters of the Cabrini mansion. They are members of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which owns both the school buildings and the land it is built on. Although the sisters live on campus, many students are not aware of who they are and what they do. The Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is international organization with ov~r 650 members. Many times they offer their services in places all across the world, like Australia and Guatemala. Being called to help the needy, the sisters must adapt and accept their new environments and ways of new people. The sisters help the needy both medically and spiritually. According to Sister Diane Olmstead, M.S.C., the sisters are following in the footsteps of Jesus by helping and healing the needy. Sister Antonina Avitabile, M.S.C., becameasister30yearsagowhenshe realized it was her destiny. "I had a calling to live this kind of life," Avitabile said. Having attended Mother Cabrini High School in New York, Avitabile had been affiliated with Cabrini for many years. According to Avitabile, she is currently studying for.her mas-
an
ter of science in accounting at Widener University. Avitabile's work has taken her across the world to places such as Australia, where she worked in a hospital for three years. At present, Avitabile does not work on Cabrini's campus. However, she has previously worked as the college registrar and in the business office. In her many years as a sister, Avitabile has taught in many places. "I have worked in elementary schools and in hospitals," Avitabile said. She has also taught in parish elementary schools training people for their confirmation. After 16 years as a sister, Sister Diane Olmstead, M.S.C., now works with the Cabrini vocational ministry, recruiting women to be sisters. At Cabrini College, Olmstead has worked with a Bible group. Olmstead worked as a youth minister in parishes and has extended her services to places all over the world. For example, she has worked in Guatemala as a nurse helping the sick and terminally ill. According to Olmstead, she enjoyed her work in Guat~mala. "I was very excited and had a desire to go," Olmstead said. As director of the Cabrini Mission Corps, Sister Lucille Souza, M.S.C., works with volunteer organizations. Souza helps place volunteer workers with those who are in need all across the world. Workers are placed in organizations such as health clinics and orphanages. She extends the boundaries of volunteer work to areas

She has been a Cabrini sister for 34 years. Now working as the retirement and pre-retirement director, Sister Arlene Van Dusen, M.S.C., has been a sister for 30 years. Van Dusen tends to the medical and spiritual needs of the retired missionary sisters and also volunteers her time working with other religious orders. However, according to Van Dusen, she is open to helping anyone in need.

While many people on campus are not aware of the sisters, their presence is important and necessary. The sisters say they reflect the Sacred Heart Mission by being open to other cultures and relating the presence of Christ to the world. "We are like the leaven in the dough," Olmstead said.

Farinelli'slife story comes to video by Billy Myers assistant features editor
The legend of the castrato lives on within the voice of Farinelli, the most famous castrato singer of his century, whose life has been turned into film and more recently home video. Even though the movie is in Italian with English subtitles, the love of the Broschi brothers, Carlo known as Farinelli and Riccardo, and the castrati style ring loud and clear in director Gerard Corbiau 's film "Farinelli." Riccardo, who is eight years older than Farinelli, had Farinelli castrated at the early age of seven or eight. In the early 1700s, if a boy, usually ltalia11,had a sweet soprano voice, his parents would have him emasculated before puberty to sustain his voice before "breaking" while he acquired full adult growth. Instead of concentrating on

2 "A Thin Line Between
Love & Hate"
"A Thin Line Between Love and Hate" is a new movie on the screens. The movie first appeared in theaters on Wednesday, April 3. However, it was at the top of the charts before opening night. The preview~ of ·the movie showed not only that the movie is good, but it is also hilarious, excellent, wonderful, interesting and very truthful. "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate" stars Martin Lawrence as Donell, Bobby Brown as Tee, Lynn Whitfield as Brandy and Regina King as Mia. This movie is based on men trying to have their cake and eat it too. The movie explains what a lot of women go through with men. The difference in this movie was that Donell came across a woman who did not tolerate that
kind of behavior from a man. Tee was Danell's partner at a club called Chocolate City. He was also Donell 's best friend. Lynn Whitfield played the part of a woman who had a well paying job. She was abused by her former husband. When she could not take any more of the physical abuse, she killed him. Now, with any man she comes across, she takes the attitude of either treat me right or die. Martin Lawrence played the part of a dog. He tried to have too many women at one time. In the beginning Donell had everything under control. Then he met Brandy and his best friend Mia came back in town. Donell is the type of man who would tell a woman that he loves her without having one bone in his body that has love for that woman. He did not come to realize what love really was or meant until his friend Mia returned from the service. When he saw that she was going out with another man, he became very jealous. Donell finally gets what he wants from Brandy, which is one night in bed. Brandy, on the other hand, wanted him forever, especially
after Donel! told her that "he wants her," "he needs her" and "he loves her." That was where Donell went wrong. Brandy took that to heart and spent money on him. She did things for him that every woman would do for the man she loves. The more time that Donel! spent with Brandy, the more he realized he loved Mia and only Mia. For Donell, Brandy started to become a problem. Actually, Donell had a fatal attraction going on. When he finally realized what was happening, it was too late. Brandy was after Mia and Donell, and she would kill anyone who tried to get in the way of her killing Donel!. At the end of the movie Don ell said-, "Don't ever tell a woman that you love them unless you really do. 'Cause if you do, that could be your last time." If you have not seen the movie, I would strongly advise you to. This movie has so much truth in it, you would not believe your eyes or ears. I would strongly advise men to see this movie, especially those who have no respect for women.

dilemma to grasp the castrato legend and the end of the castrato era itself. The Farinelli voice could not be left out. But how was Corbiau to include a voice, which was never recorded, that could sing 250 notes with one single breath or hold a note for a minute or more? Corbiau and his musical advisers, namely IRCAM, digitally blended two voices, a soprano and a countertenor. The sound was odd but pleasant. The film decided to negate the existing pages of music that Farinelli sang. Although not completely accurate, such as the time of Farinelli 's rise, 1740, the film does capture the charm and flare of the castrato and their era. Farinelli is an excellent way for a musical novice to expand his or her knowledge of the arts, especially "opera seria." Farinelli can be attained through local video outlets.
the sound of the castrato, director Gerard Corbiau, whose previous film was "The Mqsic Teacher," focused more on the sex. According to this film, the Broschi brothers provided a lady of their choice with double attendance. Riccardo lay alongside Farinelli with his partner watching and waiting for a certain climax point to be reached so Riccardo could take over and plant the "seed." Stefania Dionisi plays Farinelli who is trained by composer Nicola Porpora, portrayed by Omero Antonutti. Throughout the course of the film, Riccardo, Enrico Lo Verso, tried to make amends with his brother by writing opera scores for Farinelli to sing. Insert Handel, played by Jeroen Krabbe, who attempts to recruit Farinelli for his London theater. The conclusion of the film revolves around the love-hate relationship of the Broschi brothers, Handel's

Shawn McAleer, an elementary education major, said he feels receiving the award makes all his hard work seem worth it now. McAleer has been involved at Cabrini as a resident assistant, a member of the men's golf and track teams, the captain of the men's junior varsity soccer team and a member of the Ethnic Student Alliance. McAleer has made the Dean's List all four years at Cabrini. He has been a member of the Project Appalachia team, the last two years as group leader, and is currently the president of Sigma Rho, the education honors society. After graduation, McAleer said he hopes to teach elementary school and perhaps coach high school track or swimming. "When I transferred to Cabrini I was rather naive," McAleer said. "However it was a smooth transition. If I would have stayed at my other school, I would have been a 'who the hell is he,' not a 'Who's Who in America."'
Karen Szczurek
According to Karen Szczurek, a marketing and French major with a minor in art~ administration, the experience she received at Cabrini is one she could not have had at any other school. "I have been able to get a great deal of exposure here at Cabrini that I would not be able to receive at another school. I would not have had the time to be involved with the paper or the theater plus double major if I had attended a larger school," she said. Some of the activities Szczurek has participated in during her four years at Cabrini are the theater, with her· biggest role as the lead in the play "Fresh Out Of Rats." She has also been involved with the coordination of the advertising for Loquitur since photo courtesyof Karen Szczurek her sophomore year.

With only four months of lessons, she logged in about 35 flight hours and wanted to set the record of being the youngest person ever to fly across the country. Jessica took off in extremely poor weather conditions in order to keep up with her schedule. Jessica's mother supported her daughter's decision to attempt to break the Guinness Book of World Record's record.

Fight KO's springformal early by Nina Marie Sciarrotta features editor
The senior formal crashed to a premature halt on Friday, April 12, after a student allegedly punched an employee at the Radnor Hotel where the formal was held. According to Paul Reitano, director of human resources and loss prevention for the Radnor Hotel, Tina Birch, assistant manager for the Radnor Hotel, was struck whiie attempting to confiscate unauthorized beer from two six-foot white males present at the formal. According to Reitano, Birch has since suffered from swelling and blurred vision. Birch was unavailable for comment. According to Reitano, a large amount
of unauthorized beer was confiscated from Cabrini students during the evening, both in the ballroom and in hallways of the hotel. Reitano also said the hotel will be attempting to identify the students who allegedly hit Birch. He said they would do this through interviews of employees, assessment of videotapes from monitoring cameras and possible identification by Birch through use of school photographs of students. Reitano said the Radnor Hotel is seeking payment for several pieces of property damaged by students at the formal. These include extensive carpet damage from spillage, vomit and cigarette burns, damage to the dance floor, four damaged banquet chairs and damage to
a large curtain that was allegedly torn down. According to Emma Legge, director of student activities, the Radnor Hotel is charging Cabrini for a total of $1103 in damages. Legge also said she was uncertain at this time where the money to pay for the damages would come from. Students voiced dismay toward the incident. Senior DJ Glasgow said the incident at the formal was typical of a Cabrini function. "It epitomized the childlike atmosphere that Cabrini undergrad functions tend to create," Glasgow said. "I don't understand why they would do something like that," sophomore Barbara Cecero said.
"It just seems so stupid to me," senior Jen Dale said. According to Reitano, this sort of incident definitely points toward a problem. Reitano said the hotel will seek no further action against Cabrini in the case of the alleged assault, "provided there is a good, strong response to the situation." "I should hope that if Cabrini has a person on campus who beats women, that they would want to do something about it," Reitano said. Legge said she was uncertain as to what measures could be taken to prevent such behavior in the future. "I thought the sophomore class did a good job planning the formal," Legge said. "It was a shame it ~ad to end the way it did."

Drive, desire, dedication motivateLady Cavs in PAC by Mire/la Addesl assistant copy editor
Though their bodies said stop, tlfeir spirits cried never. The bitter cold and the fierce winds that permeated Eastern College's field on Monday, April 15, did not hinder the efforts of the Lady Cavs softball team. Despite the unpleasant weither, the Lady Cavs pulled together to defeat Eastern College in a doubleheader. The final scores were 11-1 and 16-
6. Monday's wins brought the Lady Cavs to a 6-13 overall • standing and a 4-4 Pennsylvania Athletic Conference standing. Many players said the reason for their success was because of the mix of good defense and offense. "We played real well," firstyear student third-baseman Melissa Posse said. "There were no mistakes on defense and everyone was hitting well. "We played intense. We were really tired of losing," she said. "We hit the ball," Coach Jim Hedtke said. "That's tile key for us. We're getting good pitching." According to Hedtke, pitching was a key point in Monday's game. First-year student Amy Megee pitched the first of the two games and relieved first-
year student Lisa Lazarus in the bottom of the fourth inning of the second game. "Amy threw excellent," Hedtke said, "and nobody knows the pain that Lisa is playing with." Lazarus is recovering from orthopedic surgery on her knee that she underwent in February. . "Every inning she gives us is really important to us," Hedtke said. "She's really doing it all on guts. She gave us three strong innings today." Though the Lady Cavs overpowered Eastern in the doubl~header, their luck was obscure in previous games. "One game we played great defense, one great offense," assistant coach senior Joe Koroly said. "We couldn't do both at the same time. "After North Carolina, when we lost four games in a row, we came back knowing we needed one game where we'd blow a team away. I think today's that game," he said. "We needed a game like this to turn the season around." Junior second-baseman Melissa Hunsberger said she agreed with Koroly. "We either hit the ball and don't play good defense or play good defense and don't hit the ball," Hunsberger said. "We had a good game against Marywood where the two were there and we beat them. That's what we need to do to win the PAC.

First-year student Lisa Lazarus pitches against Eastern College on Monday, April 15, at Eastern College. First-year student third-baseman Melissa Posse is set to field anything hit her way. The Lady Cavs won both games of the doubleheader, 11-1 and 16-6. They improved their Pennsylvania Athletic Conference record to 4-4.
"As far as our losing streak, it is very good for us. It gives us a chance to build our confidence and work on the things we've been doing wrong in the last couple games," Hunsberger said. Monday's game played a big part in the team's road to the playoffs. "I think it was a wake-up call," first-year student pitcher Michelle Tholey said. "Before, everybody was more nervous about their individual performances than playing as a team.
The games that we lost helped us realize that we can't do it on our own. It has to be a team effort." "We lost a couple of tough games to the powerhouses of the PAC," junior left-fielder Denise Canaris said. "But we also defeated the defending PAC champions, which put us right back into the thick of things." In order to make it to the playoffs, the Lady Cavs must win all of the remaining PAC games.

Penaltieshaunt lax team by Kevin Eppler assistant perspectives editor
.,,..
Punches, power checks and penalty flags plagued the Cabrini versus Widener lacrosse game. In a game where Widener capitalized on more than 15 Cabrini penalty minutes, the Cavs fell 16-10 to Widener on Thursday, April H, dropping their record to 4-3. The first period erupted in a tough, physical game where the Cavs and Widener swapped goals. The first score came early from Widener's senior attackman Ryan Price who would go on to score seven goals. The Cavs answered when sophomore Brian Bygott scored a goal to make the score 1-1. Three minutes later, the Cavs pocketed a first-quarter lead when firstyear attackman Kevin Benjamin dumped in one of his three goals to give the Cavs a 2-1 first-quarter lead. Despite the Cavs' dominant first quarter, the second and third quarters brought change to the score and dominance. The second quarter gave birth to a Widener surge that lasted until the fourth period. Ryan Price led the surge with his second, third and fourth goals giving Widener a 4-2 lead. The sudden change forced Coach Randy Mills to call timeout. The Cavs regrouped and sprinted onto the field only to watch Widener burn three more unanswered goals past junior goalkeeper Kevin Camp. Frustration grew and the Cavs got angry. Before Cabrini would respond to Widener's goal, junior midfielder Joe Collins drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty due to punching a Widener midfielder who was stepping on Collins' stick and nudging him before a face-off. After Collins' penalty, the Cavs would battle back with two goals provided by Benjamin and sophomore midfielder Phil Gagliardi assisted by first-year student attackman Brian Bugey. Despite these two tallies, the
Cavs took an 8-4 deficit to halftime. Camp saved 14 out of 22 first half shots. "We had trouble banging the ball around," Benjamin said. "Widener wasn't a better caliber team than we were, they just got more groundballs and moved the ball well." Widener won six face-offs and more than 20 groundballs in the first half. Cabrini captured 15 groundballs and only three face-offs and spent more than 10 minutes in the penalty box. Wideneris dominance continued into the third period. Thirty seconds into the third quarter, Widener's midfielder Pat Ryan lit up the scoreboard, bumping the score to 94. A short time later Widener punched in their 10th and 11th goals. Yet Cabrini's Bygott refused to die and shot in an unassisted goal to bring the score to 11-5. The score at the end of the third read 14-6. A late rally fell short for the Cavs. photo by CarolineCroley Benjamin punched in his third. Collins registered a goal adding to the Cavs' four Sophomore mid-fielder Phil Gagliardi carries the ball and looks for an open fourth-quarter goals to push their total to teammate against Widener University. Gagliardi finished the game with one goal 10. However, Widener's 16 total goals for the Cavs. buried the Cavs in a 16-10 loss. "We didn't do the right things. We didn't play our game," Mills said as to the reason for their loss. "We played . well only two quarters. The other quarters, we didn't hit them. They dominated groundballs and shots. We let them walk on in and score." "Transition wise we couldn't keep up with them. We played well at first but didn't have the legs to keep up with them," Gagliardi said. The Cavs are a young team. They are still growing and, according to Mills, they are still enjoying a winning season. The Cavs look to face tough Division II schools at the Long Island Tournament at Dowling College in New York and tough competition in Wesley College, which the Cavs face on Thursday, Junior Dan Lorenz faces off against a Widener opponent in the Cavs' 16-10 loss.

HiltonHead trip ends in splitdecis'ion by Stacey Caiazzo assistant photography editor
While some of us spent our Easter break at home with our families, the men's tennis team traveled to Hilton Head, S.C., to compete in a national tournament against teams along the East Coast while bringing back with them some very positive attitudes. The team played a total 9f six set matches during the tournament competing against teams like Greenville College, St. Mary's College, Davis and Elkins College, Savannah College, Franklin College and Grove City College. It won the first match it played against Savannah College, located in Georgia., by the score of 8-1. "Savannah is a team that has really been improving over the years," Coach Reggie Day said. The men's team played at least two matches against each team it played. "I really think this match could have gone either way," Day s~id_. "This was one of those matches that we won at 81, but we could have just easily lost 8-1. It was a very even match." Junior Alex Corkhill won his first match with a score of 6-1, 5-7 and 6-1. "Savannah is a good team, and we
had to play well in order to beat them," Day said. The second match they played was against Greenville College, located in Illinois, where they lost by the score of 8-1. "We had played a lot of close matches individually against Greenville," Day said. "The best matches overall in this set were played by junior Dan Dotsey, who beat Greenville's number-one player with a score of 7-5 and 7-6." Corkhill lost to Greenville's numbertwo player in three set matches with a score of 6-2, 5-7 and 6-2. Junior Gary Egizi came fighting back in number-three singles, after losing in the fint set, by winning 6-4 in his second and third matches. First-year student Joe Devlin and Egizi lost their first match in doubles, then came back strong, only losing 7-5 in the second match. "I feel that we are really improving by playing against strong teams like Savannah and Greenville College," Day said. "Dotsey played the best consistently throughout the trip while playing in number-one singles," Day said. "He faced the toughest competition of anybody."
All in all, Dotsey was 5-1 at the end of the tournament winning in straight sets with scores of 6-3, 6-3 against Savannah College and 7-5, 7-6 against Greenville College. The third match the team played was against Franklin College, located in Indiana, where the men lost 7-2. Here again, Dotsey beat the numberone player by a score of 6-2, 6-4. Corkhill and Devlin, not having a good day, lost again in three sets. Egizi won in number-three singles with a score of 7-5, 6-4. Overall, the team lost four three-set matches. First-year student Larry Zitto lost a competitive match with a score of 6-4, 7-5 and junior Eric Musican also lost 64, 6-3. "I feel that the losses we have had were all very close," Day said. The fourth match the team went up against was Grove City College, located in Pennsylvania, which is one of the top teams around the cc;rnntry. Dotsey lost his only match against this team in three sets of single matches by the score of 4-6,6-2 and 6-4. "I think that during this match things started t_otail off a little bit," Day said.
The fifth match was against Davis and Elkins College, located in West Virginia, where the team lost 6-3. Dotsey won against the college's number-one player with a score of 6-4, 6-1. "The best set of this match was number-two doubles with Devlin and Egizi, even though they lost 6-2, 7-6," Day said. The last match of the trip was against St. Mary's College, where the team lost 8-1. Dotsey was the only winner of this match with a score of 7-6, 6-3 in singles. "I think the attitude and performance of this team has really changed for the better by going to this tournament," Day said. The main goal for going to Hilton Head was to find the best competition and play against the best teams throughout the East Coast, which will help the team prime itself for the rest of the tennis season. "One of my main goals that I have had since I have been at Cabrini was to eventually be seen by the NCAA National Selection Committee and to gain national exposure that we received by going to Hilton Head," Day said.
