Perkins Scores Hat Trick as Lacrosse Falls to Virginia, 17-6
3/31/2019 1:36 PM | Lacrosse
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Jimmy Perkins had his second hat trick of the season with three goals as the Utah lacrosse team fell to seventh-ranked Virginia, 17-6, on Sunday afternoon.
Perkins, who has scored in four-straight games, scored Utah's first three goals of the day and also had an assist for a team-high four points. Josh Stout scored two goals to bring his team-leading total to 31 for the season while James Sexton had a goal and an assist. Stout also led Utah with six ground balls on the day. Seth Neeleman had two caused turnovers. In goal, Liam Donnelly and Daniel Costa each played a half and each made two saves.
"We 100 percent got what we wanted out of this game today," Utah head coach Brian Holman said. "That will show up when we get back to practice on Tuesday. I think if our guys respond the way I think they're respond, they are going to be anxious to get back out on the field on Tuesday and take the next step to get better. I'm just really proud of our guys. We know what we're up against, we're not delusional, and I thought we battled the whole way. That's what we're asking of our players. Coming in to environments like this is all about teaching and learning and growing, and I thought we grew tremendously today. We fought hard, we battled hard, and I thought we got better as a program today."
Virginia got out to a quick start with a 6-0 lead after the first quarter and led 9-0 before Perkins got the Utes (4-7) on the board with a goal with 2:35 remaining in the first half. Perkins also scored Utah's second goal of the game with 41 seconds left in the first half after James Sexton picked off a UVA pass. Utah trailed 13-2 at halftime. The Cavaliers increased their lead with four goals in the third quarter for a 17-2 lead.
The Utes rallied back to win the fourth quarter, scoring four unanswered goals. Perkins scored the first of the quarter with his third of the day on an assist from Sexton while Sexton scored his first goal of the day with 13:09 left in the game. Stout scored back-to-back goals to close out the scoring for the Utes.
The Utes return home next weekend face Mount St. Mary's on Saturday, April 6 at 12:00 p.m. MT. Utah plays three of its final four games at home with games against Cleveland State on April 20 and Detroit Mercy on April 27. Tickets can be purchased at https://utahtickets.com/lacrosse/.
