Cabrini's fall sports teams are gearing up for another explosive season. The players have been practicing on campus since Aug. 20 to sharpen their skills and welcome some new freshmen players. The teams are optimistic and are anxiously waiting to see what the new players bring to the table.
Jackie Neary, who has been coaching field hockey at Cabrini for 10 years, said that she has been impressed by the new additions to the team.
"All the freshmen are doing a fine job, however, there are two that stand out a little bit more," Neary said.
Sara Trzuskowski and Bridget Bergen, both freshmen elementary education majors, have made a huge impact as two of the total five additions to the team. Neary said that all of the new players have been doing a fantastic job even with it being so early in the season.
"I have no expectations for freshmen, so the pressure is on the upperclassmen and it's a bonus if a freshman can do something well," Neary said.
Neary has great hopes for this upcoming season. Last year, the field hockey team finished with a record of 11-7 and finished 9-2 in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference.
"[Last season] was one of out best seasons ever. We only had one conference loss. We went to playoffs but then we lost to our nemesis Eastern," Neary said.
After finishing last year with a record of 5-12-2 and finishing 2-7 in the PAC, men's soccer has made some new additions to their team as well.
English and communication major Jason Moran, Brian Moran and Evan Hanauer are three freshmen that have made an impact thus far on the team.
Junior psychology major, Matt Moore said that the freshmen have been doing very well.
"I think the season is going pretty well so far. The freshmen are a pretty solid class," Moore said.
Ryan Kirby, a junior English and communication major, agreed that the freshmen have been working hard.
"I think the freshmen class is really good this year because they're going to push a lot of the starters. I think they're going to help out a lot and maybe give us some numbers. We'll be able to go deeper in the games because we're going be in better shape and they'll really force the rest of us to step up an play well," Kirby said.
