How it Happened

• Georgetown took control of the game early, scoring the first three goals by three different Hoyas through the opening eight minutes of action. Loyola responded with three-straight of its own, including a pair 21 seconds apart, to knot things up at 3-3 at the 2:37 mark. Rory Connor's second goal of the frame with just 1.6 seconds remaining gave the Blue & Gray a 4-3 lead after 15 minutes of action.
• In the second, Georgetown dominated the quarter and outscored its host 5-1 in the stanza. Loyola would manage a late goal in the final minutes to stop a 17:03 scoring drought and salvage a 9-4 GU lead heading into halftime.
• A slow start to the second half saw neither team find the back of the cage until the 6:04 mark when Ransom finished a feed from Schubert to make it 10-4. Loyola answered with a man-up goal less than a minute later, but a scoreless final five minutes of play gave Georgetown the five-goal lead heading into the fourth.
• Loyola scored early in the fourth but Bickel's fourth goal of the game kept it a five-goal cushion at 11-6. Another Greyhound goal at the 9:55 mark made it 11-7, but Georgetown held Loyola scoreless down the stretch and added a pair of insurance goals – back-to-back within 17 seconds of each other with 7:39 to play – to seal the victory.
