Hopkins Leads

By using this method of
calculated frustration, the Blue Jays
took a 3-1 lead by the end of the
half. After halftime the tempo of
the game sped up as the Cavaliers
scored four goals in a burst.
Hopkins tried to stall intermittently
during the period, but the score was
too close to chance another scoring
spree by the Cavaliers.

With the tempo speeded up
more to its liking, Virginia tied the
score at five all by the end of the
third period. The teams traded a
pair of goals in the last period to
send the game into overtime.

Dave Pickall scored for the Blue
Jays in the first overtime period;
but Doug Cooper's goal tied the
game up again early in the second
period. After assisting Cooper, Pete
Eldridge scored with only a minute
left in the second and last overtime
to give the Cavaliers a very tense
and frustrating come-from-behind
victory.
