Daily News | Penn survives 11-10 OT thriller versus Richmond, St. Joseph’s can’t hold on against Yale in NCAA men’s lacrosse tournament action
“Bye bye, see you later,” University of Pennsylvania midfielder Sam Handley taunted at the Richmond fans as the sticks went flying.
“We practiced down there all week,” freshman attacker Ben Smith said. “It’s kind of cool playing down there with the city in the back.” “Most seniors have been giving me a lot of confidence lately,” the rookie said. “All the younger guys… have been stepping up lately because of injuries.” The game looked grim when Richmond goalie Zach Vigue saved a shot off Gabe Furey’s stick with one minute remaining. A turnover in Penn’s offensive zone suddenly created another opportunity to tie for the Quakers. Tewaaraton finalist and Ivy Player of the Year Handley passed the ball through traffic to Smith, who immediately shot low to tie the game again at 10 with 29 seconds left in the regulation period.
Senior face-off specialist Zach Cole made the difference in the game with his prowess at the circle. He leads the NCAA in face-off win percentage with .689 and continued his winning ways at nationals. At the half, the Hawks had gone 14-for-18 in faceoffs.
