Cormier goal before halftime
In a game of runs, Virginia always had an answer. The first quarter was a back-and-forth affair before the Hoos turned a 4-4 tie into an 8-4 lead with 8:33 to play in the second quarter. Maryland responded with three straight goals to make it a one-goal game just over three minutes later. Thanks to a turnover from Maryland’s Jared Bernhardt with 1:35 left, Virginia was able to clear the ball and take a timeout to prep for one last play of the half.
Connor Shellenberger worked the clock down to 30 seconds before initiating the offense. He found Payton Cormier drifting towards the goal, and the Oaktown Ox deposited the ball past the Maryland keeper. This sent the Hoos into the break up 9-7 and with some momentum.
