Sudden death goal gives Cavs victory
By Chris Glasser | September 2, 2002On a day when the field hockey team did not execute particularly well on offense or defense, a perfectly performed corner rescued the Cavaliers from Ohio in sudden death overtime. After leading the entire game, Virginia (1-0) allowed two goals from the Bobcats (0-1) in the last 10 minutes of regulation, forcing the game into overtime with the score tied at 2-2. With a little less than 2:30 remaining in sudden death, senior Cara Unterkofler entered the ball to sophomore Emily Beach, who stopped the ball and shuffled it to senior Kelli Hill. Hill then powered a slap shot from the top of the circle past Ohio goalie Ashley Pitkin to give the Cavaliers a 3-2 victory. Virginia seemingly had the game in hand from the start.
