The Cavaliers came out firing, scoring their first goal within the first two minutes of play, before doubling their score in the 21st minute. Virginia Tech took five shots during the first half, two of which were on goal; however, the Hokies couldn't quite land the ball in the net, leading to a 2-0 score heading into intermission.
