The two teams come back from halftime as the fans in attendance cheer the Paladins on. Furman with 20 minutes left gets a much-needed goal as #23 Wesley Siegel with a assist from #9 Lloyd Wamu Snell as Furman takes the 3-1 lead after having 22 shots on goal so far in the game. Senior night has turned into a great night for the fans of the Paladins. Coach Allison has really had his team working on the VMI side of the field all night, just coming up short on some of the opportunities given.
