Maryland, Penn & Harvard, Victorious In Overtime, Ruppel Saves Terps Day (LaxFactor Podcast #247)

#4 Maryland needed an insane 3-save sequence out of Brian Ruppel to nab themselves a chance to defeat #1 Virginia in overtime, and thanks to the freshman goaltender, Maryland was able to eek out the sudden death win off a Daniel Kelly goal, dished by Braden Erksa on the ensuing possession.

That was just one of a handful of Saturday games that required overtime to decide a winner. Sam Handley scored the game winner for Penn over Princeton. Sam King assisted on the game tying goal and scored the game winner in overtime for Harvard in their win over Brown. Drexel and Lafayette each won in overtime as well over Towson and Colgate respectively.

Another surprise on the day was Marquette taking down Penn State by a goal after holding off the Nittany Lion’s late rally. Loyola was able to top Patriot League foe Bucknell by a goal, 14-13 on the road.

In D3 action, Christopher Newport beat #1 and undefeated RIT and #2 Gettysburg lost to Denison on a weekend that saw top two teams in D3 both get dropped. In D2 action, Lemoyne was able to edge out Saint Anselm by a goal to remain undefeated and hold on to their #1 ranking going into next week.
