West Virginia reportedly took control in the 28th minute, when Aurelien Cormier opened the scoring. Old Dominion did not need long to answer: Noah Dietze equalized in the 32nd minute, restoring momentum before halftime.
The match was level on six shots apiece, underlining how narrow the contest remained. Old Dominion’s ability to respond quickly mattered more than territorial dominance, with the Monarchs converting their chances at decisive moments.
The report says Otu Bisong completed the comeback in the 53rd minute, scoring only eight minutes after the restart. Jacopo Caprile assisted both Old Dominion goals, giving the Monarchs a clear attacking connection in a match decided by fine margins.
Alexander Aguilar also made two saves, preserving the advantage after Bisong’s goal. Against a team ranked 15th nationally, that defensive contribution was as important as the finishing at the other end.
Ending a two-match losing run gives Old Dominion more than a headline result. It offers evidence that the Monarchs can absorb pressure, recover from setbacks and decide a close game against highly regarded opposition.
The next storyline is whether this comeback becomes a platform rather than an isolated result. Old Dominion will need the same efficiency from its attacking pair and continued composure in goal as the Sun Belt schedule develops.
