How it Happened
Brooke Cavino made Rhody's senior day a memorable one, giving the Ram's postseason hopes a massive boost with a two-goal performance in a 2-1 win over Duquesne Sunday.

Duquesne got a goal less than 90 seconds into the match when Hannah Nguyen scored off a pass from Kristina Skulte. Nguyen's high shot slipped inside the right post for the early lead.

Cavino responded little more than two minutes later. Taking a smooth through pass from Evelin Dapprich, Cavino chipped a shot over a sliding save attempt by keeper Megan Virgin to tie the game.

Both teams had several chances on goal before Cavino caused a turnover just outside the Duquesne box in the 79th minute. She controlled the ball and fired a high shot over Virgin and off the right post for the game-winning shot.
