Notre Dame moves into first place tie with last second score; Maryland draws with Virginia; Wake draws with Clemson

BALTIMORE, Maryland October 13, 2013 - When Senior Harrison Shipp fired his 60-foot shot into the back of the Virginia Tech goal in the 90th minute Friday night, little did he know that he was setting in motion a series of events that would leave his No. 2 Notre Dame side tied with No. 5 Maryland and No. 15 Wake Forest for the Atlantic Coast Conference lead.  Maryland and No. 23 Virginia played to a wild 3-3 draw in Charlottesville, while Wake and No. 17 Clemson battled to a 1-1 draw in Winston-Salem.  All three teams have identical conference marks of 4-0-3 and 15 points in the ACC standings.  The Irish outshot the Hokies, 23-13, yet as time wound down it looked for all the world like the game would go into overtime.  But Shipp had done it twice before and now he has scored the game winner three times. He has six scores altogether.  In Charlottesville, the Cavaliers gave Maryland two penalty kicks in the second half and Senior All American Patrick Mullins converted both with stunning ease.  Both teams missed point blank shots and one of Virginia's goals came after a startling mix up on the Maryland defense.  T. J. Casner scored in the 37th minute for Clemson to off-set Luca Giminez' score in the 15th minute for Wake.  Clemson is now 8-2-2 overall and 3-2-2 in the conference, good for 11 points.   On Saturday, No. 12 North Carolina got its first ACC win when they scored two first half goals and held on to beat Boston College, 2-1.  With eight points, the Tar Heels (4-2-5, 1-1-5) are now tied for 7th place with Virginia Tech.  Boston College (4-4-2, 3-3-1) is directly behind Clemson with 10 points.  Also on Saturday, Syracuse and Pitt battled to a scoreless tie, giving Pitt its second ACC point.  Syracuse ((8-4-1, 2-4-1), has 7 points, good for 9th place.
