THE BASICS
FINAL SCORE: Buffalo State – 4, Lawrence – 0
LOCATION: Ice Arena – Buffalo, NY
RECORDS: Buffalo State (1-0), Lawrence (0-1)
 
INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE

• Norrman's shutout was the third of his career.
• Joel Frazee (Monroe, MI/Shreveport Mudbugs) scored the game winner in the first period.
• Joe Glamos (Baldwinsville, NY/New Jersey Titans) recorded a goal and an assist.
• Connor Bizal (Elk River, MN/Boston Jr. Rangers) and A.J. Marinelli (Amherst, NY/Lockport Regals) each added two assists.
• Tyler Vanuden (Fort Frances, ON/Finlandia University) and Parker Allison (Dallas, TX/Neepawa Natives) also scored for Buffalo State.

 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Buffalo State took over eight minutes to record a shot on goal, but it was Frazee's rope of a wrist shot into the top corner off a drop pass by Glamos that opened the scoring.
• The Bengals held that advantage into the first intermission.
• Norrman was excellent in the second period, stopping 17 shots in the frame to maintain the Buffalo State advantage.
• Allison netted a power-play goal on a one-timer off a perfect feed from Chris Blango (Chadds Ford, PA/Philadelphia Little Flyers). It was also Blango's first collegiate point.
• Vanuden's centering pass redirected off a skate into the net for the third Buffalo State goal just before the midway point of the period.
• Glamos wrapped up the scoring with under five minutes left, one-timing a cross-ice feed from Marinelli for the goal.

 
FOR THE FOES

• Zach Lodes led the Vikings with five shots in the game.
