ACC Offensive Player of the Year Robbie Robinson scored his 2nd goal of the game on a PK in double overtime to beat Providence 2-1 on Sunday night at Historic Riggs Field. It wasn’t a very good shot, right down the middle on the ground, but luckily the keeper dove early and the ball rolled into the net. That one is often blocked! Robinson put the Tigers on the board in the 9th minute of the game before Providence tied the game in the last 10 seconds of the first half.
The Tigers advance to their 15th Elite 8 and will play the winner of Stanford, who they lost to in the national championship a few years ago, and Virgina Tech, who they tied earlier this season. The bad news is the Tigers will be without senior captain Tanner Dieterich, who was ejected with a red card.
