GLASSBORO, NJ – Kristiina Castagnola scored two goals to help #2 Rowan to a 5-2 win over Cabrini in field hockey action at Coach Richard Wackar Stadium, as the Profs up their record to 8-0.
 
Castagnola now has three goals in the past two games, while Julia Patrone netted one to extend her goal-scoring streak to six games.
 
Sophomore Madison DuBois got things going for Rowan with her first career goal at 8:24, as Julia Cavicchio took a blast from 25-yards out, and DuBois tipped it in from close range. Cabrini tied it just minutes later, but Castagnola put Rowan back up at 51:09 after Patrone sent a pass to the middle and the co-captain scored from seven yards out.
 
At 18:25, Patrone got past a Cabrini defender in the circle and backhanded a shot in for her team-leading 11th goal of the year.
 
The Profs held a 3-1 lead after three quarters but added a pair of insurance goals in the fourth. Rachel Stone centered a pass from the right wing which Patrone tipped to Castagnola, who put it into the left side of the cage at 51:09. Cienna Bosher scored her second goal in as many games when Vanessa DiDonato took a shot from 25 yards out and Bosher tipped it in.
 
Cabrini (7-2) provided the final margin with a goal at 58:36 from Adrianna Jones.
 
Rowan outshot the Cavaliers, 31-4, while goalkeeper Abby Hainsworth made one save on the day to record her eight win.
 
This was the first in a three-game homestand for the Profs as they will host Alvernia on Wednesday evening and then open conference play against NJAC rival TCNJ on Saturday, October 1.
