Gabe Sorichetti operated from the wing/crease boundary, drawing the recover slide before slipping a crisp pass to Smith for the finish. The hallmark was patience: rather than taking contested outside step-downs, they made the defense rotate twice until a lane opened inside. Overloading the Seam & Quick Catch-and-Shoot (Goal 4 at [10:54]): On David Disque’s EMO strike in the third quarter, Hopkins spaced the floor wide to stretch Delaware's bottom defenders. Jake Johnston initiated from the perimeter, drawing the top-string defender toward him, which isolated Disque on the flank. Johnston made a timely dish, and Disque stepped into his release with zero hesitation, exploiting Delaware’s trailing recovery slide.
