WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- The Mustangs controlled the bulk of the action from start to finish on Saturday afternoon but were unable to find the back in the first two periods.
- Morrisville State out-shot Buffalo State 11-4 in the first period. However, the Mustangs only held a one shot advantage in each of the next two periods over the Bengals.
- The Bengals gave the Mustangs two opportunities to convert on power plays at the end of the first and second periods as Buffalo state picked up penalties in the 18th minute of each. Unfortunately with the power plays spanning into the start of the subsequent period, the Mustangs struggled to get their man-up offensive rhythm going.
- Jessica Ujcik (Munich, Germany) broke the deadlock with a flip in front of the crease. Tessa Dobson (Moose Factory, Ont.) picked up the assist with her pass from behind the end line.
- Karoline Arvik (Trondheim, Norway) collected the win in net, posting 17 saves on her way to the shut out.
