Radnor, PA, (September 1, 2009) – Junior Aaron Gildner (Slatington, PA/Parkland) scored the lone goal of the game in the 19^th minute of the first half staking DeSales to the first and only lead of the game and the defense did the rest leading the Bulldogs to a 1-0 win over Cabrini College on the road Tuesday evening.

Gildner's tally came off a feed from freshman Steve Krause (New Tripoli, PA/Northwestern). After the nifty pass, Gildner fired a shot into the left corner from about 15 yards out; lighting up DSU's half of the scoreboard mid-way thru the first half.

The rest of the way, DeSales' defense took over; winning head ball after head ball in the defensive end to keep the hard charging Cavaliers scoreless. Senior Keith Barry (Long Valley, NJ/West Morris Central) was terrific in goal, making four saves to record his fourth career shutout.

The win marks the second straight DSU has started the season with a victory and avenges a home loss to Cabrini last season, after the Cavs won a high-scoring 4-3 game in Center Valley, PA.

The Bulldogs return to the pitch this weekend when they travel to Goucher College, taking on Randolph College in the first game of a two-day tournament on Friday and Saturday. Game time on Friday is set for 5:00 pm.
