But with time winding down in the quarter, Chris Unterstein passed from behind the cage to his younger brother Mike Unterstein, who beat Princeton reserve goalkeeper Matthew Larkin, with three seconds left in the quarter. Larkin had replaced starting keeper Dave Law at the 10 minute mark of the third quarter. That set the stage for Keycorp s gamewinner, which was initially slowed by Larkin, but managed to trickle over the goal line to give the Pride a 9-8 lead. The Pride still had to work on defense and held the Tigers to no shots on goal and forced five turnovers over the last nine minutes to secure the win. Chris Unterstein finished with one goal and four assists, while Bonaguro contributed the hat trick and Treubig added two goals. Brett Moyer picked up five ground balls and had three caused turnovers. Matt Southard enjoyed another good game in goal, stopping eight shots. Trombino led the Tigers with two goals and two assists.
