Cabrini College men’s soccer team played their neighbors at Eastern University on Saturday, Oct. 20. The game resulted in a 4-0 win for Eastern due to an eventful second half. The Cabrini Cavaliers are still 15-3 in their overall season and 6-2 in Pennsylvania Athletic Conference matches.

The game started out to be favoring Eastern, as they kept the ball in front of Cabrini’s goal for the most part. Cabrini had some break aways which did not result in any goals.

With only a one point match, both teams came back from half time and struggled for the second goal. After 12 minutes, a second goal was earned for Eastern University by Aaron Tritch who got hold of the ball off the goalie and scored. At 2-0 the game started shifting heavily onto the Cabrini side.

Within five minutes of the goal by Tritch, Gehret scored his second goal of the game, and the third for Eastern, against Cabrini goalkeeper sophomore Bryan Johnson, who tallied up three saves in his 68 minutes of play.

Cabrini switched goalkeepers in the last minutes of the game, taking out Johnson for junior Colin Hinklemon who in the ending 20 minutes of the game let one goal slip by from Eastern’s Scott Patrick.

Eastern improved their record with a win making them 10-4-1 overall and 5-1-1 in the PAC league.
