Reading, Pa. (Oct. 28, 2010) - Alvernia University (11-8) scored a pair of goals in the fina three and a half minutes and Abby Eby (New Holland, Pa./Garden Spot) stopped four shots for a 2-0 win over Cabrini College (10-7) Thursday evening in non-conference field hockey action at Schlager Memorial Field.

Alvernia finished with a 21-1 advantage in corners and a 20-4 advantage in shots with Miranda Peto (Phoenixville, Pa./Phoenxiville) scoring on the final one of the night in the closing seconds.

Eby made a pair of saves in each half for her first shutout of the season.
