What a time to score your first collegiate game-winner, Angelo Petrakis.

The Team 91 2019 Orange faceoff midfielder and Cornell freshman was the talk of the Crown Lacrosse Classic as he took a long feed off of a faceoff win in the game’s dying seconds, outran everyone and ripped home a bouncer for his second goal of the game as the Big Red topped Penn State, 18-17, in a battle of two of the country’s top 10 teams.

Petrakis was also a beast at the faceoff X, where he claimed 18 of 29 battles to go along with five ground balls against one of the nation’s top faceoff units – including seven of 10 in the first quarter as Cornell opened up an 8-2 lead – to help Cornell stay unbeaten.
