NORFOLK, VA - The Norfolk Admirals capped off a resilient effort at Scope, earning an overtime victory over Greensboro after a late push forced extra time.

Norfolk controlled the game early, opening the scoring in the first period as Jack O'Leary (13) found the back of the net off a setup from Jack Pascucci and Michael Citara to give the Admirals a 1-0 lead.

The Admirals doubled their advantage in the second period with a strong offensive sequence, as Brady Fleurent (27) buried his team-leading tally off passes from Brandon Osmundson and Grant Hebert, putting Norfolk firmly in control at 2-0.

Between the pipes, Alex Worthington delivered a steady performance, turning aside 29 of 31 shots and making several key saves to maintain Norfolk's lead through two periods.

In the extra frame, Norfolk wasted no time finishing the job.

Just over two minutes into overtime, Josh McDougall (3) netted the game-winner off a crisp passing play from Kristóf Papp and Marko Reifenberger, sealing a 3-2 victory for the Admirals.

Norfolk showcased strong structure and consistency throughout the night, with contributions across the lineup and timely scoring when it mattered most. Despite the late push from Greensboro, the Admirals stayed composed and delivered in overtime to secure the win.
