The Tigers (3-1) – who have won more games this year than in all of their inaugural 2024 campaign (2-12) – trailed, 9-6, just over a minute into the fourth quarter after six straight goals by the Trojans. But Holy Family regained the lead with four scores in less than three minutes.
Three of those were by Feeney, including two in 14 seconds, to put Holy Family ahead 10-9 with 10:19 remaining. Virginia State tied it up for a fifth time 1:46 later, and both goalkeepers made a save to keep it tied until Feeney’s game-winner. The Trojans hit the post seven seconds after and could not threaten again.
