This solid goalie play helped keep the scores bouncing back and forth, as the teams traded goals for the first 20 minutes of the second half and Syracuse held a 12-11 lead with 10 minutes to play. Hopkins freshman Tim Muir put home his first career goal a minute and a half later, but Syracuse came right back and scored the final two goals of the game to advance to the NCAA Final for the second year in a row with a 14-12 win. JHU's A.J. Haugen led all scorers with a career-high five goals, but SU's Liam Banks put up six points on three goals and three assists and Powell added three goals and two assists. This team stays very patient. We don't get antsy.
Nobody is selfish.
We're always looking out for the good of the team. The Orangemen didn't appear to get too nervous, but they did lose their heads a few times. Syracuse racked up three straight one-minute penalties in the third quarter, but came away unscathed. Rob Mulligan played great in goal and did a great job. He made some big saves.
