Women's Soccer Earns Spot in ECAC Championship with Two Late Goals

Madison, NJ (November 12, 2022) - The DeSales University women's soccer team scored two goals over the final 11 minutes including the game-winner with 37 seconds left to earn a win over Cabrini University, 3-2, advancing to the ECAC Championship game on Saturday afternoon.

How it Happened
  • Cabrini scored first in the 7th minute of the game as a free kick seemed to take a strange bounce in front of junior Hannah Pacheco and sneak by her on her left side for the game's first goal.

  • The game remained tied into the 66th minute the Cavaliers reclaimed a one goal lead on an own goal as ball over the top got past Pacheco and a Bulldog defender tried to clear it with a header that went into the net.
  • Sophomore Emma Riberio tied the game at 79:23 scoring on a loose ball in the box.
