LANGHORNE, Pa. – Since its season opening loss, the Cabrini women's basketball team has now won seven consecutive games after today's 92-43 victory at Cairn University.  The win keeps the Cavaliers perfect in the Colonial States Athletic Conference at 3-0 and 7-1 overall.

The Blue and White shot over 55% from the floor and surrendered just five turnovers in the game's first 20 minutes.  Cabrini controlled the paint, outscoring Cairn 22-2 in the first half and outrebounding the Highlanders22-9, including eight offensive rebounds which led to 11 second chance points.

While Cabrini's starters played limited second half minutes, the reserves showed no let down, hitting 57.1% from the field.  The Blue and White's paint dominance continued after the break, to the tune of a 20-4 point advantage in the lane and 20-11 rebound edge.

Peterson, senior Maggie McElroy and freshman Meghan Horn chipped in with six points each.  Horn and senior Colleen Stewart led the Cavaliers with five rebounds each, while Startare tallied three steals.

E.J. Hartzler led the Highlanders (0-6, 0-3 CSAC) with 13 points.

The Blue and white will break for final exams and the Christmas holiday before returning to action on December 30 when they visit Albright College (4-2).  The nonconference tilt is slated for a 6:30 p.m. tip in Reading, Pa.
