How it Happened
Tech’s controlled momentum from the get-go and recorded three shots on goal in the first nine minutes of action. The Hokies finally capitalized on their chances in the 24th minute to take a 1-0 lead. 

Anna Weir delivered a beautiful ball into the box that found Sarah Rosenbaum for a header to make it a 1-0 Hokie lead. It is Rosenbaum’s first goal in a Virginia Tech uniform.
