The Crimson added three goals of its own to clinch the win. At 8:55, junior Terry White bounced off a defender and fired a high shot past Meyer from 12 yards out. Four minutes later, sophomore Peter Schwartz came from behind and found himself with an open look after Meyer had been pulled out of the crease. Cohen added an easy score shortly thereafter, finishing the year as the team-leader with 28 goals.

“I think our offense started to really possess the ball and play smart, try to take the air out of their offense,” Gibbons said. “We just held the ball and tried to not make any turnovers, and we were able to do that effectively.”

Krieger capped a dominant, 16-save performance with a cross-body save on a Bulldog attempt with 30 seconds to go.

“Unbelievable,” Wojcik said. “Harry was seeing the ball really well right from the start, he just made so many big saves that not only kept us in it, but kept us in it where we could pull away...he’s just been getting better every single game.”

The Crimson will need two more strong performances from its goalie if it is going to keep the year going with wins in Ithaca next weekend.

“When you’re a senior, it all kind of hits you.” Gibbons said. “This is it for me; this [could be] my last time playing competitive sports in a team environment. We just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to extend the season as long as possible. We did that today, so hopefully we can keep it going next week.”
