INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Brockport struck for the first goal just 62 seconds into the opening period as Mitchell Parson flicked a backhanded shot past Norrman off a breakaway created by a pass from Ryan Romeo.
• Buffalo State equalized just after the five-minute mark of the period, as a strong forecheck from Frazee allowed the Bengals to regain possession of the puck. Figueroa skated behind the Brockport net and emerged out front to rip a shot just over the goaltender's shoulder and into the top corner of the net.
• Midway through the opening period, Nikita Kozyrev (Tallinn, Estonia/Springfield Jr. Blues) was denied on a breakaway after an excellent pass by Connor Bizal (Elk River, MN/Boston Jr. Rangers).
• The teams entered the first intermission with the score locked at 1-1.
• The Golden Eagles took advantage of the impromptu goalie change, scoring four goals in succession after the switch to take a 5-1 lead into the second intermission.
• Brockport added another goal late in the third period for the final tally of the night.
