Evan Hanauer, a sophomore political science major and an outside midfielder and striker, is proving himself to be a strong asset to the Cabrini men’s soccer team.

Achieving recognition throughout the world of college soccer, Hanauer started off the season by winning the offensive Most Valuable Player at the Roger Williams Soccer Tournament on Sept. 2 and was named Pennsylvania Athletic Conference player of the week for Sept. 17.

Iadarola also said that the Dixon’s did not just write a check out to the college to fund these facilities but they are very big supporters of the school as well.

Corcoran was introduced by former softball coach and history professor James Hedtke. Corcoran, who transferred as a junior, was a two-time All-Pennsylvania Athletic Conference honoree and earned al Team picks. As a junior, Johnstson was named to the All-American First Team after leading the Cavaliers to placing third in the country.

“All of these honors and records would not be possible without the help of my teammates,” Johnston said. “I was a good player because of them and their skills.”

Honored for his outstanding men’s lacrosse performances, Lemieux was introduced by head men’s lacrosse coach Steve Colfer.

Lemieux finished his four-year career at Cabrini as the alltime leading scorer. The two-year captain also helped lead the Cavaliers to PAC crowns in both 2001 and 2002.

After playing soccer for 15 years in his hometown of Royersford, Pa., Hanauer came to Cabrini College as a freshman and joined the men’s soccer team with a dominant drive for success and a strong commitment.

The men’s soccer team is currently 7-1. In Hanauer’s mind, the team should be 8-0 when looking at the stats, but he has looked past that upset and moved on. Hanauer is always concentrating on moving forward and improving not only his own game, but in addition, looks to improve with the rest of the men as a team.

No one is perfect and Hanauer admits he most definitely has skills to work on. He replies to the question of what those specific weaknesses are with: “I just want to work on increasing my focus while I’m out on the field and being confident whenever I have the ball.” the Most Valuable Player honors both seasons, as well as serving as team captain her senior year. The 1994 graduate led the team in every offensive category for two years. In her senior year she took the Cavaliers to the finals of the PAC Championships in the league’s first year sponsoring the sport.

The freshmen that are putting forth their talents on the men’s soccer team this fall, according to Hanauer, are Mike Viscariello, Ryan Day, Troy Allen, Steve Reynolds, Chris Katzman, Rafi Mahserejian, Matt O’Shaughnessy and Paolo Siciliano.

Gougler, of the class of 1999, was inducted by head field hockey and lacrosse coach Jackie Neary for her outstanding athletic performance. Gougler, still the top career scoring leader in field hockey, also ended her lacrosse career at Cabrini with three All-PAC selections. In the team’s second year of existence, she helped the team to the title game of the conference championship.

Former softball coach Bridget Baxter Orchard introduced Johnston of the class of 2002. Johnston was inducted for her four All-PAC honors and three All-Region-

“Without my unbelievable teammates and coaches this honor would not be possible,” Lemieuz said.

“Everyone [brings] their own attributes to the team,” Hanauer said. One new player in particular to keep an eye on, in Hanauer’s view is freshman Matt O’Shaughnessy, who plays midfielder. “He has been playing well so far this season,” Hanauer said.

Although the dynamics of the team are changed every year due to the incoming freshman, Hanauer said, “At the college level it’s more of the upperclassmen holding the team together when the going gets tough because they have that emotional experience when games really get into the grind.”

Hanauer has high hopes for the games to come. “We are a bunch of work horses,” Hanauer says. “Everyone gives 110 percent all of the time and everyone just has a lot of pure soccer talent.”
