Cavs lose 6-5 in overtin1e

The emotions ran high and were quenched after a few minutes into overtime as Marymount topped the Cavaliers 6-5 on a rain-soaked field.

"I'm obviously disappointed with the team's performance. We didn't play well," head coach Steve Colfer said.

Marymount came ready to play on a very dark and cloudy day. The sun was hiding behind the dark clouds, the rain poured at times and drizzled throughout the game. Marymount would score the games first and last goals.

Despite the hard and aggressive play of the Cavaliers defense, Marymount held onto a 2-1 advantage ending the first quarter. A defensive battle ensued, and Cabrini trailed heading into halftime 4-3.

Heavy rain dominated the third quarter. Colorful umbrellas deco- rated the sidelines. The rain caused the grass to become wet and slippery. Maintaining balance and footing was becoming a problem.

The Cavaliers produced many scoring opportunities as they fired away coming close on many occasions. With only l :48 left to play in regulation, Marymount scored increasing their lead to 53. Cabrini needed two goals in just less than two minutes.

Forty seconds remained as the Cavaliers scored, shrinking the lead to 5-4. About thirty seconds left when the ball dropped at midfield. It took only twenty seconds to score the tying goal.

Coach Colfer said, "This has never happened in the seven years I have been coaching here. The team showed heart and character with those two goals," Colfer said. The game was sent to overtime. "We have to learn from this and bounce back," Colfer said.
