(BOX SCORE)

BUFFALO, NY—Kara Goodwin (Avon Lake, OH/Avon Lake) scored with 50 seconds remaining in the third period to force overtime as Buffalo State (3-6-1) rallied to tie Cortland (1-8-1), 1-1 in a non-conference game tonight at the Ice Arena.

The Red Dragons took a 1-0 lead midway through the first period and held the Bengals scoreless until Goodwin scored her third of the season, after Buffalo State pulled its goalie, to tie the game. Courtney Carnes (Winslow, ME/Winslow) picked up an assist.

Buffalo State outshot Cortland, 25-21, and Jordan Lee (Colorado Springs, CO/Widefield) had 20 saves between the pipes.

This weekend's pair of games is the women's hockey team's annual “Pink the Rink” initiative.  Tonight's game featured a t-shirt sale, bake sale and clipboard auction, with all proceeds being donated to the Roswell Park Cancer Institute to benefit breast cancer research. 

Prior to the game, the Bengals conducted a ceremonial opening face-off with Jean Galbo, a breast cancer survivor who has been cancer free for the past eight years.

Buffalo State and Cortland will play again tomorrow at 2 p.m.
