Box Score

HAMPTON, Va. – A wild last 20 minutes on Tuesday afternoon saw 10 goals, with Hampton scoring the last five to take a 15-10 win over SUNY Poly at Armstrong Stadium.

Following a slow first period that saw the teams tied at one, Hampton opened the second scoring twice in a nearly two minute span as Michael Lawrence tallied one at the 12:12 mark to put Hampton up 2-1. At the 10:23 mark, senior Darren Almodiel blistered the back of the net with a goal to give the hosts a 3-1 lead.

Hampton used goals from Derian Williams-Sturdivant and Lawrence, with his coming at the 1:01 mark to put Hampton up 5-3 heading into halftime.

The second half saw the goal cages explode as Baron Edmondson (13:56) and Kendall Sapp (11:42) tally markers to put the Pirates ahead 7-3. The lead grew to 9-4 on goals by Josh Square off a feed from Lonnie Jones (8:41) and Sapp put his third of the day on off a feed by Melvin Scott, III with 7:46 left.

The visitors scored six of the next seven goals as only a Pierce Johnson tally off a Jones feed stalled that run. Three SUNY Poly goals in a 72-second span early in the fourth tied the match at 10 on a Roert Pollock goal. Hampton responded with the last five goals as Williams-Sturdivant, Johnson, Josh Square, Elliott Johnson III and Jones helped put the Pirates up with goals.

Sapp topped Hampton with three goals, while Pierce Johnson, Williams-Sturdivant, Lawrence and Square each had a pair of tallies. Jones accounted for six points with a goal and five assists, while Pierce Johnson also accounted for six points with two goals and four helpers.

Hampton returns to action on Saturday facing Alderson-Broaddus at Armstrong Stadium at 2 pm.
