• Freshmen Ryan Doherty and Jackson Palumb each scored two goals. Doherty added three ground balls.

Head Coach Scott Marr: "It was certainly a tough game, but I'm proud of our effort for sure. When you play teams like Virginia, teams like Yale, top 10 programs, playing a complete game is the challenge. In the third quarter, just like at Virginia where we gave up nine goals, this one we gave up seven. It hurts. We battled and we tried hard, but we didn't finish some plays and they did. Finishing a game, finishing plays throughout the whole game is something we have to continue to work on. Quick turnaround, we'll get back to work tomorrow for Merrimack on Sunday."
