| LEXINGTON, Va[IMAGE] - Senior attackman Leo McInerney (Syracuse, NY/Marcellus) forced overtime with a goal from close range that just beat the buzzer at the end of regulation; then scored the game-winner just 13 seconds into the extra session to give VMI a thrilling come-from-behind 11-10 victory over Robert Morris University in men's lacrosse action played at Patchin Field Saturday afternoon. The victory is the second straight for the Keydets who improve to 2-2 on the year while the Colonials fall to 0-5 in this their inaugural season. With five seconds left in regulation, their was a brief stoppage in play resulting from the ball going out of play. As the officials signaled for play to resume, VMI passed the ball quickly into play from the sideline in its attacking end. McInerney received the ball and penetrated toward the corner of the goal and scored unassisted with a shot that snuck by Colonial freshman goalie Jason Dockum (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mt. Lebanon). McInerney was hot in the final 30 minutes as he scored six of his goals in the second half including three straight to open the third quarter scoring. With that in mind, VMI head coach Doug Bartlett wanted to keep feeding McInerney the ball while also believing that his team was prepared for pressure situations like this from their practice routines. "With five seconds left on the clock, I knew Leo had gotten us back in the game," Bartlett recalled. "We do a lot of situational scrimmages. We create those things in practice," Bartlett added. "Leo took the ball right to the goal and slammed it home. Leo was in a zone today." McInerney led the VMI offense with seven goals and two assists while junior attackman Will Collier (Centreville, Va./Woodberry Forest) added a pair of goals. Freshman attackman Kevin Hill (Rockville, Centre, NY/South Side) also added three assists to lead the Keydets while senior goalie Matt Hook (Catonsville, Md./Catonsville) made five saves. VMI also outshot Robert Morris 40-27 for the game. The Colonials were led by sophomore attackman Carlo Sunseri (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mt. Lebanon (Providence) ), freshman attackman Brendan Young (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mt. Lebanon), and freshman midfielder Todd Greenhalgh (St. Catherines, Ontario/Holy Cross) who scored two goals apiece. The Colonials also got three assists from freshman midfielder Michael Fleming (Sarnia, Ont./St. Christopher). The game went back-and-forth throughout with neither team having more than a three-goal lead. Robert Morris opened the scoring at 12:19 of the first quarter when Sunseri scored off an assist from freshman midfielder Andrew Watt (Kitchener, Ontario/Grand River Collegiate). VMI answered with the next two goals to take a 2-1 lead with 8:41 left in the opening period. McInerney scored VMI's first goal unassisted before Collier added the second goal off an assist from Hill for a 2-1 lead, the Keydets first and only lead of the game prior to the final score. The game was also tied four times. The Colonials assumed control from there, scoring four unanswered goals to move in front 5-2. Young scored two of the goals in the surge, the first one coming unassisted. Freshman midfielder Alex Sewell (Mt. Airy, Md./Linganore) added the final goal of the first half with an unassisted tally as Robert Morris took a 6-3 lead at intermission. McInerney's hot streak opened the second half with his first of three straight scores being a man-up goal. VMI would outscore the Colonials 4-3 in the third to pull within 9-7 entering the fourth quarter. McInerney continued his hot and aggressive play in the fourth quarter scoring a man-up goal off an assist from Hill to pull the Keydets within one at 9-8 with 11:31 left to play in regulation. For the game, the Keydets were 2-for-5 in man-up situations while the Colonials were 1-for-2. Just over one minute after McInerney's goal, Sunseri scored unassisted at 10:27 in what would be the Colonials final goal as they took a 10-8 lead. The two teams went scoreless over the next 8:27 before VMI scored twice in the final two minutes to force overtime. Despite the long scoring drought, VMI kept attacking and shooting as it outshot Robert Morris 16-2 in the fourth quarter. McInerney hooked up with Collier who scored with exactly two minutes left to play in the fourth quarter before McInerney worked his magic in the waning seconds to the delight of the home crowd. The overtime session started with the Keydets taking an enormous amount of momentum with it. The faceoff was a typical tussle with VMI winning it and moving immediately into attack mode. "Tony Cavalero and David Trimble did a phenomenal job on the faceoff in overtime," Bartlett said. "The game-winning goal was a direct result of the effort Tony and David Trimble put forth." McInerney would ultimately be the beneficiary as he took a pass from junior attackman Robert Trimble (Oak Hill, Va./Oakton) and sealed the VMI win. The Keydets will have a week to savor this thrilling victory before resuming play on Saturday, March 19 when Siena visits for a noon game at Patchin Field. |
