Virginia defeats Johns Hopkins 11-10 in double overtime to advance to Championship Weekend.
With the season on the line, Connor Shellenberger buried the double-overtime winner to send the Cavaliers to championship weekend. After a huge defensive stop and a successful clear, Virginia called timeout. Coming out of the timeout, Shellenberger swept across the field down the right alley before rolling back to his left hand and painting the far left pipe, giving Virginia its first lead but, more importantly, the win.
Virginia would then keep pace with the Blue Jays for the remainder of the first half, only trailing 7-5 at halftime with Morris making five saves, quickly settling into the big stage. Another factor that kept Virginia in the game was the committee of Anthony Ghobriel and Thomas Colucci winning the faceoff battle 9-6 through two quarters.
To start the second half, Virginia fired home two straight goals, including a jump shot from Connor Shellenberger to tie the game at seven. In response, Chase Yager checked the ball out of Matt Collison’s stick before Ben Wayer picked up his tenth ground ball. Wayer then cleared the ball, eliciting a timeout by the Cavaliers.
