Greensboro (8-7) got on the board with 3:34 left in the first period when junior attackman Ryan McNamara scored from sophomore attackman Scott Showalter, but senior attackman Scott Meehan (Baldwinsville, N.Y./Manlius-Pebble Hill) and junior midfielder Luke Heinsohn (Charlottesville, Va./Covenant School) both scored unassisted to start the decisive run as W&L claimed a 4-1 lead after 15 minutes of play.

First-year midfielder Garrett Paglia (Forest Hill, Md./Gilman) made it 5-1 when he scored from Means at 12:15 and Meehan scored unassisted just 1:30 later for a 6-1 lead.  First-year attackmen Cam Lewis (Chapel Hill, N.C./Durham Academy) and Cameron Dabir (Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich./Culver Academy) then hooked up for a goal (Dabir with the assist) at 8:41 to make it 7-1 at the break.
