The sun was out, the stands were filled and the vendors were selling.

On Family Weekend, featuring a home game for every fall sports CABRINI 2 team, it was the CATHOLIC U. 1 men's varsity soccer team that drew the biggest crowd.

Indeed, Saturday, Sept. 26 was a perfect day for soccer and the bleached-blonde Cabrini Cavaliers lived up to their hype, defeating Catholic University by a score of 21.

The first half of the game was mostly a defensive struggle, with few shots on either teams' goal. But with five minutes remaining in the first half, the momentum of the game was shifted towards the Cavs for good.

First-year student Andres Zayas scored the first goal of the game. His goal electrified the audience and deflated a tiring Catholic University. The second half started with early shots on goal by captains Don Eadie and Wayne Brown. Midway through the half, senior Michael Robinson scored what would later prove to be the decisive goal for Cabrini.

Leading by a score of 2--0,Cabrini maintained its airtight defense, rarely allowing their opponents any real scoring opportunities.

Sophomore goaltender Eric Lukach came up just short of a shutout, allowing a goal with only two seconds remaining on the game clock. But it would prove to be too little, too late for Catholic University.

When all was said and done, the Cavs ended up completing what could only be called a successful weekend for Cabrini sports.
