• Freshman defender Jaelyn Pallas took a free kick from distance and fired on goal in the 47th minute of play, but the ball sailed just above the crossbar.
• The Hokies found some space in the 50th minute on an uncontested shot from freshman forward Taylor Price. Gerstenberg was up to task and made a sliding leg save.
