How It Happened

• A physical game broke out in the first half, but neither team could find the back of the net. Only six shots came in the opening frame, and only three of those were on target. All three came in the first nine minutes, but Zach Behe made two back-to-back saves in the sixth and seventh minutes, while Adam Braithwaite (Fr., Chesterfield, Va. / Matoaca) followed with a save in the ninth.
• The second half started similar to the first as each team found prime opportunities. Penny Senior (Sr., Kingston, Jamaica / Meadowbrook) had a pair of shots sandwiched around one for the Maroons' Liam Camilleri. All three were saved with Braithwaite making a diving stab to punch away Camilleri's kick to the upper right 90.
• Roanoke had the first opportunity in overtime with a shot by the Maroons' Michael Ramsey, but another diving stab by Braithwaite kept the game going.
• The lone shot in the second overtime period came from Roanoke, but Braithwaite made another incredible save to preserve the clean sheet.
