It was a clear KO for Kevin Cooper over Greg McBride that actually led to a man advantage for Maryland, but Carolina won the war in the end. Down 11-9 with 40 seconds remaining in the game, Kevin Cooper hit Greg McBride late and received a flag. McBride retaliated by hitting Cooper low. A major mistake. Cooper leveled McBride with a series of haymakers and was finally knocked off his opponent by 4 or 5 Tar heels. Two penalties were called on Carolina.
Goran Murray caused a Jimmy Dunster turnover and then scored his first goal of his career off an assist from Cummings to make it an 11-10 game. Freshman Charlie Raffa won the final faceoff, giving the Terps a chance. Blye’s feed to Cummings on the crease missed him, but got through to Rastivo, but didn’t make it past him, preserving the 11-10 win for the Tar Heels. Watching on TV, I thought the ball had trickled in the net but that was not the case.
Billy Gribbin scored 3 goals and Captain Joe Cummings chimed in with 2 goals and 2 assists.
Next up for the Terps is UVA who lost in OT to Johns Hopkins on a goal by John Ranagan.
