History Made in Radnor

History made in Radnor with DIII Cabrini (1-0 ) defeating Haverford (0-1). With the victory, Cabrini Head Coach, Steve Colfer becomes the 22nd Coach in DI, DII, and DIII to record 300 victories. On to NCAA Lacrosse action.

How Did it Happen?

It took just 1:04 for Dan Bennett to set up Mickey Vanaman (4g, 1a) to give ve Cabrini the 1-0 lead. Haverford evened things up in a matter of fifty-five seconds when Matt Richards (1g) put one past the Cavaliers netminder, Matt Nestler. At the 12:13 mark, the Fords found themselves with a 2-1 advantage courtesy of Blake Brinster (1g). The normally high-powered Cabrini offense was contained but was able to squeeze goals from Dan Bennett (2g,2a) and a second from Vanagan to end the opening stanza with a Cabrini 3-2 edge.

Seems Like a Tight One

Andrew Arth (1g, 2a) and Arth setting up Sean Mowatt-Larsenn gave the Fords the lead at 4-3. Cabrini made adjustments and went on a run. Bennet and Tommy Vaughn, collecting his first of 4, closed the half with Cabrini in front, 5-4.

On to the third. This would be all Cabrini. Shutting out the Fords and collecting a pair of markers from Vaughn to increase the margin to 7-4.

With our win today over Haverford, Coach Colfer becomes only the 22nd coach in NCAA history with 300 career wins! Congrats Coach! pic.twitter.com/Qetqm2K2a7
