Men’s soccer fought fiercely against nationally-ranked Eastern, but eventually fell with a final score of 3-1.

Fifteen minutes into the first, Eastern flexed its muscle when Lance Burris, a sophomore forward, scored. Cabrini’s defense kept them in the game by keeping the score at 1-0 at halftime.

Eastern scored early in the second half to put Cabrini down by two. The goal came off of a corner kick by senior, Mahaish Alexander, and was finished by senior midfielder, Daniel Carvalho. Eastern’s men were very vocal and ran like a finely tuned machine. Cabrini kept up well but could not put one away until there was only five minutes to go.

With 5:42 left in the game, No. 9 forward, Brent Benner, rallied his team by taking on Eastern’s goalie, Brandon Ziegler, knocking the ball loose and putting it away.

Cabrini’s newly renewed spirit was crushed when Carvalho set Bryce Plummer up for the third Eastern goal which clinched the game. Cabrini’s defense was playing a man down because in an effort to tie the game, they had moved three forwards up top.

Brent Benner earned his tenth goal of the season, and his scor- ing streak stretched to seven matches.

Eastern outshot Cabrini 26-9 but Cabrini’s defense, Robinson, Blaney, Gilchrist and goalie, Hinkelmon kept Cabrini in the game by stifling their success to only three goals.

Colin Hinkelmon kept Cabrini spirits up by keeping the team vocal. Captain Ian McDonald did the same from the sidelines because of a stress fracture in his right shin. He stood by the coach and helped push the men.

Cabrini frustration showed in the game when Dave Malosiecki received a yellowcard for language. Joe Rotan also got one for having words with the referee.

Brent Benner was also warned for a shove.

Eastern fans came out in big numbers along with Cabrini fans to see the rivals go at it. Cabrini’s dance team had sold shirts that read, “Friends don’t let friends go to Eastern” and they could be seen on the sidelines. Eastern’s women’s soccer showed up together in uniform.

Jen Pyott, a pre-nursing sophomore, and Cabrini fan, thought they were playing really well and said, “They have great spirit.”

Joe Zullo, a mathematics sophomore, said, “Next year they will be a lot better. This year is a rebuilding year.”

The Philadelphia 76ers trounced the New York Knicks on Tuesday, Oct. 18 on the Knicks home-court, Madison Square Garden, with a final of 114 to 99 at the end of regulation.

The Sixers dominated the Knicks throughout the majority of this game, often holding an average lead of approximately 15 points—particularly in the second half. At one point of the game, the Sixers were even ahead by 29 points.

Some Knicks fans, and an article on the NBA.com, put some of the blame on the fact that Knicks coach Larry Brown did not attend this game. As the article said, “New York Knicks coach Larry Brown took the night off. So did his team.”

Next week on the the 76ers schedule are the Cavaliers, Nets, the Knicks again and the Spurs, all in preseason games.

Jerome McDougle out by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. They also ranked No. two in the NCAADivision three midAtlantic region.

The Eagles defensive end Jerome McDougle will not be playing in the 2005 season due to emergency surgery for an internal hernia caused by a gunshot wound injury.

During late July, three masked men shot McDougle in the stomach while attempting to rob him. After this incident, McDougle was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where after surgery, McDougle was considered to be in good condition.

McDougle was supposed to return to the game on Monday, Oct. 18 but thanks to this hernia he won’t be playing for a long time. The hernia was caused by adhesions and scar tissue from his surgery for the gunshot wound. Eagles coach Andy Reid and the rest of the team wished McDougle the best of luck with his surgery in a statement they released.

When the rivals met last year, Cabrini walked across the street together and met the opposition on Eastern terf. Cabrini came out on top with a final score of 1-0, although Eastern had outshot them 14-4.

Barry Magagna was able to put the Cavaliers on top with the only goal.

The rivalry and frustration showed last year as well with two yellow cards and one red card being given out.

The cross-street rivalry continues, this year Eastern went home with the victory.

Cabrini’s record now stands at 4-11-2 overall and 2-6 within the PAC.

The men face Ursinus on Monday, Oct 24 in a non-league match. The men then travel on Oct. 29 to Arcadia, which is ranked number 20 in the nation’s NSCAApoll.

Turner Stevenson

Flyers’ right wing player Turner Stevenson underwent surgery for a hip injury on Tuesday Oct. 18. This injury may keep Stevenson out of play for two to three months.

According to Flyers Head Coach Ken Hitchcock, Stevenson probably got injured during his last game against the New Jersey Devils. Stevenson took a cortisone injection to help ease the pain. While it made Stevenson feel good enough to play, a hit he took during a game with the Pittsburgh Penguins rendered him unable to continue.

Stevenson’s’ surgery will be held in the Byrd at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tenn. This is the second major injury in Stevenson’s career; the first being a knee injury that Stevenson expects may have contributed to his current hip injury

After a meeting with Yankees owner, George Steinbrenner, Joe Torre has decided to return as Yankees manager for his 11th season.

Apparently Torre was considering retiring after his contract ran out in 2007, and the fact that the Yankees were knocked out of the playoffs this year didn’t help. Torre was described as “tired,” “exhausted,” and “uncertain of his future.”

However, after speaking with Steinbrenner and Yankees president Randy Levine, Torre decided to stay on for his 11th season managing the Yankees. According to the Associated Press, this conversation started with “We want you back” and continued for an hour.

Torre became manger of the Yankees in 1995 after previously managing the Cardinals. He has been manager for 10 straight seasons since then.
