Virginia reportedly scored three times before half-time, with Brendan Lambe involved in each goal. The opening spell produced four goals in 17 minutes and gave the hosts control before Queens found a response.
A 3-1 half-time advantage reflected Virginia’s sharp start. Lambe’s direct running and final-third involvement were central to the early separation.
The margin did not hold comfortably. According to the report, Queens scored twice in the final seven minutes, reducing Virginia’s advantage to a single goal and forcing the home side to defend the closing stages.
That sequence changes the complexion of the victory. Virginia had enough attacking quality to build a two-goal lead, but Queens’ late response prevented the result from becoming straightforward. The hosts’ ability to manage games after fast starts will remain an important question.
The reported milestone gives Gelnovatch a significant personal landmark, while Virginia’s season record is described as five wins, five defeats and one draw, including two ACC victories and two losses.
That balance underlines the importance of turning high-energy performances into greater consistency. A win over Queens can provide momentum, but the late concession of control means the result offers both encouragement and a warning.
Virginia’s next fixture will show whether this was the start of a stronger run or another turbulent chapter in an uneven season.
