Scoring goals and winning games since 2003, the roller hockey team is back for another season. The team plans on making their fourth consecutive trip to the championship and taking the victory once again.
Unfortunately, many top players graduated this past spring; however, with their new players, the team is more than ready to sweep the competition.
“We had an incredible team last year,” goalie Nick Paone, junior exercise science major, said. “With all of the new faces and new talent this year, I’m hoping we can keep our success going.”
So far, they have played five games and have a 3-2 record. Games are played every Sunday night at Marple Sports Arena in Broomall, Pa., about 10 minutes away from Cabrini.
“The drive is only 10 minutes so it would be nice to see some more fans come out and support us,” team captain Brian Bell, senior criminology major, said.
For the past three years, the team has made it to the championship and their hard work finally paid off last year when they beat Neumann University in the championship.
“It was an incredible experience especially because we had to play a tough Neumann University team in a close three-game series,” Paone said. “We played hard, battled hard and swept them in two games.”
“This is my fourth and final season playing for the team and this season means a lot to me,” Bell said. “I am looking to lock down another championship.”
