The Lady Cavaliers basketball season has come to an end. This season was no ordinary one for the Lady Cavs. They came into the season being last year's Pennsylvania Athletic Conference champions.

First year student Katie Kempton said, "We played hard all season and it pays off to make it to the quarter finals."

The regular season for the Lady Cavs began with five straight losses. They did pull it together during the season to make the PAC finals.

Gwynedd-Mercy, Eastern College, Wesley, Marywood, Rosemont, Alvernia and Misericordia are also in the PAC finals.

In regular season Cabrini lost to Gwynedd-Mercy 5471. Freshmen Maureen Lynch was the leading scorer for Cabrini with 14 points. Kendra Ryer was leading re- bounder with nine.

The women also lost to Marywood and Alvernia once in the season. In the Marywood game Erin Crawford had 18 points and Erin Barney had seven rebounds. "The Alvernia game was close," Erin Crawford said. Kendra Ryer was the leading scorer with 14 points and rebounded seven in that game.

Cabrini and Eastern College played twice in regular season. The Lady Cavs won once and lost once. The first game Cabrini won 64-55. The leading scorer was junior Lisa Reynolds with 24 and Kendra Ryer with 10 rebounds. The second game they lost by 10 with a score of 61-51. Rosemont also played two games against the Lady Cavaliers in regular season. Both teams won one game each. Cabrini lost the first time by four points 59-64. They won the second time by 11 with a score of 64-53. Against Wesley Cabrini lost twice. "Both were close games, but Wesley pulled it out in the end," sophomore Erin Crawford said

The last game of the Lady Cavs regular season was against Misericordia. Cabrini won this game by 21 points, the final score being 81-60. Erin Crawford lead with 32 points, a career high this season. Katie Kempton was the leading rebounder with nine.

Both of the aformentioned players will return next season along with most of the team. However, Erin Barney and Jakie Pierangelli will be lost to graduation.

Although the team will miss Barney and Piemagelli, it returns a core group of players that is ready to make an attempt at regaining the PAC title next year.

On Tuesday, Feb. 22, the team ended its season with an away game against Wesley College. The Lady Cavs were defeated 55-52 in this semi-final competition.
