How it Happened

The Yellow Jackets kept possession for a lot of the first frame, posting six shots to Hood's two. The Blazers' goalkeeper made five saves in the first 15 minutes. Both teams were held scoreless, however, after a plethora of chances on both sides.
Nearly four minutes into the second quarter, Llana Thach (Glen Allen, Va./Glen Allen) put a shot in the back of the cage after a scrum in the circle. Four minutes later, Brenna McLean (Rock Hall, Md./Queen Anne's County) scored to push the lead to 2-0, which RMC took into the break.
The Blazers looked to flip the tide in the third, holding possession for much of the quarter. Hood put up six shots in the quarter, looking to equalize, but Ambrogi-Torres stopped two shots to keep the opposition off the board.
The fourth quarter was action-packed from both sides. The two teams combined for 9 shots on goal but all shots were saved as the goal keepers controlled the game. Randolph-Macon had two opportunities at penalty corners, but were defended well by the Blazers. The RMC defense held strong throughout the final 15 minutes to secure the 2-0 win for the second victory of the year.
