GA 13, EA 10 >> A thrilling comeback win against league rival Episcopal Academy capped off GA’s week of road battles. Four quarters weren’t enough to decide a winner as the teams ended regulation deadlocked at 10. The Patriots had to claw back from a 7-3 deficit in the second half to deadlock the game and send it in to extra time. Junior captain Walker Butler led the way during the comeback, tallying seven goals in regulation. Playing with a short bench due to two starters fouling out, GA had several players step up in the fourth and overtime. This was highlighted by senior Dan Araten’s pair of goals in the first frame of OT.
