Volunteer Invitational day 3
Tennessee - 11: Western Michigan - 12 The final day of the annual Volunteer Invitational saw an intesnse game between the Vols and the Western Michigan Broncos. The contest was a great one and but the Vols eventually lost in double-overtime. The two teams spent much of the game going goal-for-goal. The Vol's goals-per-quarter was 3-3-2-3, so they had pretty even pace to thier offense during the game. Kevin O'Neil (Herndon, VA; Chantilly) led the Vols with four goals, while freshman Griffin Young (Nashville, TN; Father Ryan) made his presence felt on the field with his first hat trick of the season. Three other Vols would contribute to the scoring to round out the UT offense. The faceoff corp was hit or miss on the day. Taylor Szalay (Memphis, TN; Houston HS) won 9-17, while Justin Kaemmerer (Knoxville, TN; Bearden HS) dominated going 7-9. He also lead the team with five groundballs. Defender and LSM, David Ruben (Memphis, TN; MUS) and Chris Koloup (Towson, MD; Loyola Blakefield) respectively, followed close behind with four groundballs a piece. Senior keeper David Catterton (Brentwood, TN; Brentwood HS) had another stellar day between the pipes. He made 17 saves to keep his Vols in the game all the way through two overtimes. This tough loss closed out Tennessee's annual trip to Memphis for the Volunteer Invitational. The Vols went 2-1 on the trip. They are now looking forward to thier last game before the spring break as they take on SEC rival Florida in Knoxville.
