...pull within one at 10-9 with 1:16 left. Despite two possessions in the final minute, sophomore Dean Gibbons turned the ball over, and the Tigers cleared it as time expired to secure the narrow victory.

The Big Red got back into the game thanks to its own triumvirate of scorers—Max Seibald and Finn registered four goals apiece and Hurley notched a hat trick as well. “They have a really high-powered offense,” Smith said, “Especially Max Seibald.
