Phillies

End

by Brian O'Connell sports editor

The Philadelphia Phillies ended their final season of the century. It was a season where they were once 13 games over .500 and even had a shot at a wildcard slot in the playoffs. Then it all went south with injuries to key players and losing 34 of their last 44 games. After that, it was alJ over.

However, last Sunday was Fan was not until the second half that Cabrini scored the rest of its five goals, some in very quick succession to one another. In addition, there were also a number of near misses against Misericordia's goal that produced gasps from both sides of fans.

Sophomore Andy Zayas is credited with two of the team's goals, while John Amerman, Billy Crossan and Art Kelly each scored the other three. Assisting were Michael Braun, Robert Thompson, Michael Primavera, Sean McDonnell and Art Kelly.

Team member Roy Bowman was satisfied with the win

First-year student Dan Jellyman battles for possession of the ball said, 'Tm glad that we played up to our potential as a team."

While Meder stated that the team was overconfident during the fust PAC game, he was pleased that this time the team did not once appear complacent and played tough up until the very end. He acknowledged the numerous attempts at Misericordia's goal and was glad that his players "gave it 100 percent." Much of the team got the chance to play, which provided experience for some of the newer members while somewhat emptying the bench. Meder had assumed that the match against Misericordia would be tough, noting that PAC games always are.

He identified Cabrini's key players in Saturday's match as Braun, Primavera, Kelly, Crossan, Amerman and goalie Eric Lukach. Meder is looking forward to the return of Jim DeLuisi, who was absent from the bout against Misericordia. The men's soccer team will play at Alvernia College on Oct. 9th.

Also, do not forget to see if the men's team clinches a spot in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference playoffs. The playoffs run from Nov. 3-6.
