Delaware Valley College 5, Cabrini College 2

RADNOR (PA) - Delaware Valley College scored three times in the final 21 minutes to break a 2-2 tie and down host Cabrini College, 5-2, in a non-conference game.

The Aggies improved to 1-1 on the young season and it was the first win as Delaware Valley head coach Carol Di Girolamo, who took over the program following a six-year stint at Neumann College.

Delaware Valley scored twice in the first six minutes as sophomore Amy Stafford (Shannon Shivak assist) and senior Bobbie Fultz (Bethany Pavlik assist) each found the back of the cage for a quick 2-0 advantage.

It remained a 2-0 contest into halftime, but the Cavaliers (0-3) answered in the first eight minutes of the second stanza as Kerri Ricker and Sara Trzuskowski tallied goals to tie the contest.

However, Fultz gave the Aggies the lead for good with 20:42 remaining as she scored her second goal of the game and the 11th of her career. Pavlik, a freshman, gave the team some breathing room with her first collegiate goal with 18:10 remaining and sophomore Lauren Lansberry ended the scoring off an assist from Michelle Cernobyl with just 49 seconds to go.

Delaware Valley outshot Cabrini, 21-17 with the Cavaliers holding an 11-7 advantage in corners. Sophomore Jackie Deschenes made 10 saves, en route to her first collegiate victory.
