INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE

Kozyrev registered four points in a game for the second time this season, also doing so in a victory over Brockport.
Tyler Vanuden (Fort Frances, ON/Finlandia University) scored a goal and also added an assist.
Connor Bizal (Elk River, MN/Boston Jr. Rangers) also scored, while Hayden Ford (Medford, NY/Philadelphia Revolution) scored his first goal of the season.
Emil Norrman (Kungsbacka, Sweden/Dells Ducks) was excellent as always in goal, stopping 35 shots for his 11^th victory of the season.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The opening minutes of the first period were back and forth, with neither team able to gain the upper hand.
Bizal put the Bengals in front headed into the intermission, tapping in a rebound at the back post after Kozyrev's initial shot was saved.
Morrisville knotted the score at 1-1 with a power-play goal early in the second period.
Ford put the Bengals back in front minutes later, snapping a wrist shot from the left circle into the top corner of the net.
Great quick passing from Aidan LaValley (Champlain, NY/Vermont Lumberjacks) and Kozyrev created a chance in front of goal for Vanuden, who made no mistake to give the Bengals a 3-1 lead.
Morrisville pulled a goal back just before the intermission, as Brett Tibbs snuck a shot past Norrman.
Vanuden thought he had another goal, but the goal was ruled out due to offsides after a lengthy discussion of the officials.
The Bengals clung to the one-goal advantage for most of the third period, and Kozyrev was able to seal the victory with an empty-net goal with under a minute remaining for the 4-2 final score.
