Last Wednesday the women's basketball team lined the court anxiously With their game faces on and their uniforms freshly cleaned, Cabrini was ready to take on anyone.

On Jan 26, 2000 the women's basketball teamed played Rosemont College. The Lady Cavs won the game in a 63-54 much needed victory.

It was a very important Pennsylvania Athletic Conference game for Cabrini College's women's basketball team.

The game was very exciting. Rosemont came out in the first half making almost every shot.

Rosemont was up by a nine point lead. Cabrini came back with a vengeance to make up for how well Rosemont was playing.

In the second half, Cabrini came out so pumped to get this victory that Rosemont's defense could not even stand in the way of the Lady Cavs.

After Cabrmi scored, the adjustment Cabrini's women's basketball team made was a man to man full court press on Rose- moot.

Sophomore Erin Crawford, who lead the way with 19 points, said, "We are progressing very well and the two wins we just had gives us all a boost of confidence."

For this victory the most important factor was Cabrini's defense. They were able to make the most rebounds they had all season. Crawford said, "We won because of playing good defense and rebounding."

While watching the women's basketball team you can see how they all play together. "It is important for me and my teammates to get along because we are together six days a week and we play much better on the court," Crawford said.

"There is not no one person who contributes to our wins it is the team as a whole who win the games," Crawford said. "Even the freshmen are coming along great, they are getting experience for years to come."

This was a much needed win for the Lady Cavs. They are now 5-5 in the PAC and 512 overall. The next game for Cabrini's basketball team will be on Saturday, Feb. 5 at home.
