This was the moment Peter Thompson transferred to Michigan lacrosse for.
Just over a minute into overtime in the Wolverines’ NCAA tournament first-round game at Schollkopf Field in Ithaca, New York, the grad student cut toward the Cornell net as his teammate, Bryce Clay, came out from behind it. Clay fired the ball to Thompson, who just a year ago lost in the first round with Georgetown.
Not this time.
On Sunday, Thompson buried the ball past Cornell goalie Chayse Ierlan 80 seconds into the extra frame to give Michigan a walk-off 15-14 victory.
