the last six goals of the game to propel the fourth-ranked Virginia
Cavaliers to a 12-6 win over top-ranked Johns Hopkins today before
4325 fans at a sunny Klöckner Stadium.
The win is Virginia's fourth in a row as the Cavaliers improve to 5-1
on the season, while Johns Hopkins falls to 3-1 overall.
The Cavaliers built an early 6-2 lead following Nick Russo's full
field run with just over five minutes before halftime, but the Blue
Jays closed the half with three unanswered goals to cut Virginia's
halftime lead to 6-5.
Blue Jay captain Bobby Benson tied the game at six with a blistering
shot that beat goalie Tillman Johnson stickside high just 3:26 into
the half, but the goal proved to be Hopkins' last.
Christmas rang up four consecutive assists to close the third quarter
as the Cavaliers dominated the game's final 25 minutes. The run began
with Christmas feeding fellow freshman Joe Yevoli on the crease with
9:11 left in the quarter. The play was set up following a Johnson
save. The sophomore goalie hit long stick middie Trey Whitty in
stride with an outlet pass. Whitty crossed the midline and passed to
Christmas on the right wing. Christmas found Yevoli all alone on the
crease with goalie Nick Murtha, who he beat easily for the score.
Less than three minutes later Christmas found middie Brenndan Mohler
in front to push Virginia's lead to 8-6. Billy Glading scored his
only goal of the game with less than four minutes remaining in the
quarter by connecting off a Christmas feed from behind. Yevoli closed
the third quarter with his second goal of the period.
Christmas scored his second goal of the day midway through the final
period as the Cavaliers opened their largest lead of the day at 11-6.
He added his final goal with just under three-and-a-half minutes left
to go by taking a pass from middie Chris Rotelli and beating Murtha.
Johnson had another splendid performance to highlight a strong effort
by the entire Virginia defense. He finished with a season-high 14
saves, the fourth game in a row he registered at least 10 saves. He
had six saves in the second half and allowed just one goal in the
game's final 30 minutes. The Blue Jays six goals is their season low.
Virginia travels to play the Maryland Terrapins in its ACC opener at
Byrd Stadium on Saturday (March 30) at 1:00 p.m.
