The women's lacrosse team made the tough climb up the mountain and peaked victoriously over the Neumann College Knights. The game was battled out on campus this past Saturday at noon. This is the Lady Cav's fourth consecutive PAC victory.

"The last time we played Neumann it was a tough game with a score of eight to six," Stephanie Masucci, junior, said. Masucci, a defensive wing, knew what the team was up against before game time. "We'd have to play our hardest to win."

In recent games, the Lady Cavs have dominated the scoreboard. In some games Cabrini's score was more than triple that of the other team's. On Wed. April 25, Cabrini defeated Cedar Crest College 17 to 5 allowing them to advance to the finals

Yes, Cabrini has a golf team.

"People are always asking me, "Cabrini has a golf team?" said Anthony D' Aleo, sophomore.

Despite a lack of knowledge around campus, the team proved to be quite successful this year. In the first four games before the PAC Championships, the team posted a 4-0 record.

Heading into the PAC Championships, the team added to their resume by playing on the legendary Bethpage golf course. This is the course in which the US Open will be played. "It was breathtaking," said D' Aleo. "The 18th hole is beautiful and to know that next year the Open will be determined at that hole and to know that we saw it is amazing"

After Bethpage, the team headed to the PAC Championships, which were hosted by College of Misericordia over the weekend of April 29-30. Wesley took home first, but the Cavs tied for fourth with Alvernia College. Senior Brian Moose gave the team an 86 and 82 and finished ninth overall in the tournament. Moose also claimed All PAC second honors. The

The team speaks highly of itself when describing their season. "This year we did not know how things would be going in, the team came through pretty well," said D' Aleo. "We just go out there and enjoy ourselves."

Improvement is also something that the Cavs hoped to accomplish at the beginning of the season. "We have done what we wanted to do and everyone bas improved, we have had fun," said D' Aleo.

D' Aleo and Moose take the top two spots on the team. Both have helped the Cavs with low averages all season. D' Aleo averages an 83 and Moose a 78 or 79. Besides a low average, Moose has also been selected as honorable mention for the past two weeks in the PAC league.

As the Cavs end a season, a new season brings anticipation. According to D' Aleo, the team will only loose two players next year, Moose being one. The team is also expecting some recruits. "We had a really good season and played well with only two returning players, I look forward to being captain next year and to the four returning players and new ones," said D' Aleo.

Neumann Knights through most of the first-half of the game. Neumann would score a goal and Cabrini would immediately counterattack with a goal on the Knights. The first goal of the game was scored by Cabrini's Nicole Schultz. A~ticeable difference between the two teams was Cabrini's speed and agility. After the Knights would score on the Lady Cavs, Cabrini would speed the ball back into the Knight's territory.

At half time Cabrini was down by one. The score at the end of the first half was four to three.

During a ten minute stretch of the second half, the Lady Cavs scored five goals. Scorers were Colleen Connor, Heather Stinger, Tracee King, Kelli Romano and Angela Grassa.

The Lady Cavs pulled ahead of the Knights in the beginning of the second half. The landmark play of the game came when Adrienne Maiocco, junior defensive captain, scored unassisted after running the ball more than 50 yards down field. Christy Malone received the defensive MVP of the game for having made 15 saves.
