Re: Friday Dec.4 Scores
MORRISVILLE, NY—Nicholas Petriello (St. Catharines, ON/Holy Cross) scored twice and Buffalo State (3-8-1/2-6) downed host Morrisville State (3-6/2-5), 6-4, tonight in a SUNYAC battle.
Joel Sheppard (Pefferlaw, ON/Sutton District) had a goal and an assist, and Mike Luzarraga (Sugarland, TX/Clements) and Justin Knee (Centralia, ON/South Huron) added single markers for Buffalo State. Freshman Trevor McKinney (Oakwood, ON/Sinclair) completed the scoring for the Bengals, netting his first collegiate goal on the power-play with 16 seconds remaining, and D’Arcy Thomas (Gatineau, PQ/Philemon Wright) added three assists.
The Bengals led 2-0 after the opening period and held four two-goal leads in the game, never allowing the Mustangs to even the score. Luzarraga’s shorthanded goal late in the second period proved to be the game-winner. Morrisville outshot the Bengals, 39-25, but Alan Fritch (Saginaw, MI/Heritage) made 35 saves.
