INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE

  • Moe Saif (Buffalo, NY/Coppell, TX) had the assist on the Bengal goal.
  • Max Shoemaker (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Falls) made four saves for Buffalo State.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • With the game still scoreless in the 20th minute, goalkeeper Shoemaker made an excellent save to deny Oneonta's Matt Howe right in front of goal.
  • As time wound down in the first half, Saif fed Shaibi just outside the penalty box on the right side. Shaibi took a touch with his right foot, cut inside to beat two defenders, and blasted a left-footed shot into the top left corner of the net to give Buffalo State a 1-0 advantage with 30 seconds left in the half.
  • At half-time, lightning caused a weather delay of one hour and fourty-seven minutes.
  • In the 50th minute, Shoemaker denied Howe again from close range, this time diving to his left to turn away a shot.
  • Oneonta missed a glorious opportunity to tied the score in the 69th minute as Lucas Fecci got behind the defense, but fired a shot just over the crossbar.
  • In the 71st minute, Shoemaker made another save to thwart John Bernadi, sprawling to his right to stop a shot just inside the post.
  • Fecci made up for his miss in the 75th minute, heading a cross over Shoemaker and into the goal to tie the score at 1-1.
  • The game was called in the 79th minute due to another lightning delay.
 
FOR THE FOES
  • Fecci scored the goal, and had three shots for the Red Dragons.
  • Aaron Harrison was credited with an assist on the goal.
