In the 72nd minute, an audible sense of relief flooded Thompson Field. Not because the on-and-off lightning strikes had finally subsided , but because after another night of knocking squarely on the Loyola door time and time... and time again, a daisy cutter from, who ricocheted her shot off a defender’s legs, then off goalkeeper Brigid Mulholland, before finally rolling into the net, gave the Hokies something to finally cheer about in Tech’s 1-0 win over the Greyhounds.
This Tech side was relentless in taking shots. Over the course of the stop-and-start 81 minutes, the Hokies tallied 28 shots, six of which were on target. Yet the shots that were taken mostly left Mulholland with nothing to worry about. These high-and-wide efforts grew tensions within the Blacksburg side's camp.
While three different last-ditch tackles were made to prevent Tech goals on one end, the Maroon and Orange allowed zero shots and looked like brick walls whenever slightly faced with a Greyhound counter.
