SCOUTING THE CAVALIERS
Cabrini enters the matchup with a 12-8 record and won the Atlantic East Conference Championship. They topped DeSales University 19-6 in the first round Wednesday to advance to the weekend. Avery Murphy leads the Cavaliers with 87 goals and 181 draw controls.

FDU NEWS
The Devils posted a 10-8 record this season, including a 6-1 mark inside the friendly confines of Robert T. Shields Field. Senior Caroline Pape leads the team with 99 points and 58 draw controls, while classmate Megan Nemeth has made 172 saves.

AWARD SEASON
Pape was chosen as the Middle Atlantic Conference Freedom Offensive Player of the Year, while classmates Nemeth, Kathleen Petrucelli, Caitlyn Damon, and Leah Eble joined Pape as First Team selections. Sophomore Nina Shirey gained Second Team accolades.

DEEE-FENSE
Shirey leads the Devils with 45 caused turnovers, as the team has forced 258 this season. Five Devils have forced 20 or more miscues.

RECORD-BREAKERS
Pape broke the school record for points in a game when she tallied 13 against Moravian. Additionally, she tied the school-best with eight goals in the same game. In the same game, Eble matched Noelle Shirey, Nina Shirey and Brienna Reasoner's mark of seven caused turnovers in a single contest. Finally, with her 13 saves against Misericordia University last week, Nemeth became the career leader in saves. She has totaled 595 over her four seasons, three more than Amy Banghart had from 1998-2001.
