Hirsh Heaves Bomb

Maryland got the faceoff, one of
their 13 of the day to Virginia's 6,
and held the ball until losing it with
about one minute left. The
Cavaliers could not get out of
their defensive zone until when
Hirsh heaved his bomb from behind
the line which bounced twice past
the startled Maryland defense and
landed in the net.

Maryland topped the Cavaliers
in a number of important statistics,
as they got more shots (47-35),
faceoffs (13-6) than the Cavaliers.
Hirsh had 18 saves to 16 for
Maryland's Bill Reilly, who played
his first game ever in the nets.
