BUFFALO, N.Y.—Freshman Jonathan Hall (Greenfield, IN/Connections Academy) scored in his first collegiate game and Buffalo State tied visiting Fredonia 1-1 in a season-opening SUNYAC contest tonight at the Ice Arena.
 
THE BASICS
FINAL SCORE: Buffalo State – 1, Fredonia - 1
LOCATION:  Ice Arena – Buffalo, N.Y.
RECORDS:  Buffalo State (0-0-1/0-0-1), Fredonia (0-0-1/0-0-1)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Buffalo State controlled much of the first period, but Fredonia struck first converting on a two-on-one with just six seconds remaining in the first period.
• The Bengals netted the equalizer on a four-on-four when Hall raced down the right win and shoveled his own rebound home for her first collegiate goal.  Marcus Michalski (Woodstock, ON/St. Mary's Catholic) and Brody Power (Toronto, ON/Upper Canada College) registered assists.
• Mike DeLaVergne (Pawling, NY/Pawling) finished with 27 saves in goal for Buffalo State, a lunging paddle save on a backdoor rebound early in the third period.
• Fredonia was the aggressor for much of the third period.  Buffalo State was whistled for three penalties in the final seven minutes of regulation that produced 1:40 of 5-on-3 play, but the Blue Devils could not capitalize.
• Buffalo State finished with a 32-28 edge in shots, with each team registering only one shot each in overtime. 
• The Bengals finished 0 for 5 on the power play, and successfully killed off all eight Fredonia opportunities.

 
FOR THE FOES

• Mitch Kaufmann scored the Fredonia goal with assists from Mackenzie McAvoy and Luke Rivera.
• Jeff Flagler finished with 31 saves in goal.
