Paced by three goals from junior midfielder Matt Poskay and two from junior attackman Matt Ward, the Cavaliers avenged last season's 9-7 loss at the hands of the Pioneers -- although it wasn't easy by any means. Denver struck first when a third Matt, Matt Brown, faked out Virginia goalie Kip Turner for the goal and the lead. Ward evened the score at one apiece with a goal from the crease.
