Final Stats

Charlottesville, Va. - Matt Ward scored four goals to lead No. 3 Virginia to a 17-4 win over Stony Brook in Charlottesville, Va. Saturday afternoon. The win improved Virginia to 3-0 while SB fell to 0-1.

"Virginia played extremely well and we made a bunch of early season mistakes," said head coach Lars Tiffany. "We will work on those mistakes in practice to get ready for Harvard next weekend."

The Cavaliers jumped out to a 3-0 led in the first 5:19 of the game with two of the goals coming off the stick of Ward. Stony Brook bounced back with a pair of goals to get back in the game. Sean Chamberlain cashed in a man-up opportunity off a feed from Jason Cappadoro at 8:31 of the first quarter and 2:20 later Cappadoro set up Ryan Hughes' first goal of the season to get SB within 3-2.

Virginia would then reel off 10 straight goals, capped off by Danny Glading's tally with 2:14 remaining in the third quarter. Cappadoro stopped the run with his first goal of the season later in the quarter and Chamberlain added his second late in the game to close out the scoring.

Cappadoro finished with a goal and two assists while Chamberlain finished with two goals. Brendan Callahan made 15 saves.

Stony Brook is back in action next Saturday when it hosts Harvard. Face-off is 1 p.m.
