It looked like the Syracuse Orange would take another ACC opening win over the Virginia Cavaliers after Stephen Rehfuss scored his second goal of the game (and the season) to give the Orange a four-goal lead. I even thought the game was out of hands.
We were fooled.

Virginia went on a 6-1 run in the final 11:29 of the game, including a 5-1 run in the final nine minutes of regulation, as they completed the comeback in a 15-14 win in overtime inside the Carrier Dome. Sophomore midfielder Jacob Buttermore had a hat-trick as he continues to make an impression in the early portion of the season, and redshirt junior attackman Stephen Rehfuss, who’s been slow to produce this season due to the flu, scored two goals and assisted on another. Junior goalie Drake Porter made 14 saves in the loss.
