How It Happened
Falling down 1-0 in the first quarter, the Cobras responded in a big way with four goals of their own to make this a 4-1 game. Two of those goals came from Ajemian, and two came from Ford; all four were unassisted.
It was a back-and-forth in the second period. LMU scored to make it 4-2, but then Ajemian scored another unassisted. LMU scored again, but then it was Britt Rumbaugh getting on the board off an Ajemian pass to make this game 6-3 heading into halftime.
Right out of the break, Ajemian had another unassisted to stretch the lead to 7-3. After LMU answered, Ryan Forehand scored an unassisted one to cap off the scoring for the Cobras. They used their lead to walk out unscathed in this tough battle with a win.
