Cavaliers Open Scoring

Virginia opened up the
scoring in the second period
with Beach again providing the
scoring punch on a pass from
Tom Duquette. Until the final
four minutes before the half,
neither team was able to get
another coordinated attack going
again. Then the visitors
erupted for three quick goals as
the Cavalier stickmen experiences
a defensive lapse. Middle reg>
Sizzinoglia and attackman
Rauth continued to lead
Yale's offensive corps, helping
the Blue to forge into a solid
5-3 halftime lead. Sandwiched
between these three scores was
Duquette's first tally on an
extra-man play engineered by
second-team All-American Jim
Potter.

The Elis increased their
advantage by hitting the nets
first in the second half. Cutting
from his midfield position,
Pettitt threw in a feed from
Rauth with the Cavaliers one
man short. Virginia narrowed
the count to 6-4, as Charlie
Rullman fired one past Yale's
All-Ivy goalie, Mike Stanton.
For the remainder of the
period the two teams traded
goals, neither squad managing
to maintain a consistent, balanced
game. Rauth and
Schmock provided the firepower
for the visitors, while
Beach and defenseman Doug
Hilbert equalled their efforts
for the Cavaliers. Hilbert's tally
came when the senior letterman
pulled in a pass in the
defensive zone and raced the
length of the field to beat the
Blue's amazed goaltender with
a sizzling line drive off the top
post.

In the fourth stanza
Virginia finally broke down the
Elis' defense and outscored the
stickmen from Connecticut 3-1.
Rullman started the scoring
one minute into the period by
throwing one in unassisted.
Hitting the scoreboard for the
final time, Yale upped their
goal total to nine on Rauth's
third tally.
