Radnor, PA – Top-seeded Cabrini College raced out to a 3-0 lead in the first 16 minutes of Thursday night's Colonial States Athletic Conference men's soccer semifinal game and never looked back on their way to a 7-1 victory over #6 Keystone College.  The Cavaliers, currently ranked ninth in the NSCAA Mid-Atlantic regional rankings, improve to 14-2-3 on the season while advancing to Saturday's CSAC championship where they will host #2 Marywood University, who defeated #5 Neumann University 2-1 in double overtime in Thursday's other semifinal.

Cabrini squelched any hope of a Keystone comeback by scoring three goals in the final 27:06.  Kane netted his second goal of the evening in the 63^rd minute to restore the Cavaliers' four-goal advantage before Drew Vernon made it a 6-1 game with an unassisted marker in the 78^th minute.  Fernando Sommo capped the scoring by converting  a penalty kick in the 87^th minute.
