Goal Disallowed

As if that wasn't bad
enough, a last-minute
pseudo-goal by the Cavs was
similarly declared illegal when
one of a crowd of Wahoos in
front of the goal was ruled by
the officials to have pushed
Madison goalie Al Mayer into
the net.

Two other good Virginia
scoring chances also went for
naught in the second period as
forward Meaney fanned on a
rolling ball about 15 feet in
front of Mayer and then on the
play preceding the last
nullified goal, when a Meaney
shot was deflected and just
missed going in, striking the
post in the lower left corner.
