HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, Va. -- Junior Ray O'Brien (Scituate, MA) led all scorers in the game with four goals to help lead Hampden-Sydney College to a, 10-5, victory over visiting Ohio Northern University, Wednesday afternoon on Fulton Field at Lewis C. Everett Stadium. Junior Michael Leone (Vienna) scored two goals and added one assist, while fellow classmate Ford Burke (Richmond) scored one goal and tallied two assists. Fifth-year goalie Will Perry (Roanoke) got his fourth win of the season in net, making four saves.

Both sides could only muster one goal in the first quarter, and it came with 2:01 left on the clock for the Tigers, as Leone finished off the pass from senior Talmadge Hope (Richmond) to give H-SC a one-goal lead after 15 minutes.

The Tigers did not wait long before scoring in the second, as O'Brien scored two goals in just over two minutes of action. Following a restart in play, the Tigers caught the Polar Bears sleeping, with Burke finding sophomore Gaines Weis (Richmond) wide open in front of the net for the easy goal. Burke scored himself one minute later after making a couple of spin moves past defenders to cap a five-goal run by H-SC to start the game. Ohio Northern answered two minutes after the Burke goal before the Tigers ended the second quarter on a two-goal run. Leone scored his second of the first half with 6:39 left in the half off a feed from Burke, and sophomore Conor Kilfeather (Wyndmoor, PA) led the break and found Hope for the goal to cap off a seven-goal second quarter for H-SC.

O'Brien started the scoring in the third quarter, just over two and a half minutes in he finished off a pass from Campion White (Apex, NC) to push the H-SC lead to eight. The Polar Bears answered to get one back before freshman Patrick Hanes (Raleigh, NC) finished off the Leone feed three minutes later to give the Tigers a 10-2 lead after three-quarters of action.

Ohio Northern made a push midway through the final quarter, scoring three goals in four minutes, but H-SC played strong defense down the stretch and held the Polar Bears scoreless for the final six minutes to take a 10-5 victory.

The Tigers will be back in action on Saturday, March 18 when they start Old Dominion Athletic Conference action against Randolph-Macon College. The game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. on Fulton Field at Lewis C. Everett Stadium.
