INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE

• Allison scored two goals in a game for the first time in his career.

• Emil Norrman (Kungsbacka, Sweden/Dells Ducks) stopped 35 shots in goal.

 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Buffalo State raced out to an early lead, as LaValley had a shot take a deflection and float past the goalie for the 1-0 lead three minutes into the game.
• Glamos tapped in a cross-ice feed from Ford just 46 seconds later to double the Buffalo State lead.
• Potsdam responded in less than a minute, as Jack Loran ripped a shot past Norrman.
• Jeremy Quesnel tied the score at 2-2 with under eight minutes to go in the period, and it remained knotted into the intermission.
• Just before the midway point of the second period, Potsdam went ahead on an odd-man rush.
• After a Potsdam penalty, McCosh tapped home his own rebound to tie the game once again with 14 seconds left in the period.
• Allison ripped a one-timer on a drop pass from Glamos for a short-handed goal to give the Bengals a 4-3 advantage with ten minutes remaining in the third period.
• The Bears were able to equalize once again, as Quesnel snuck a puck past Norrman, and after a lengthy discussion amongst officials about whether the puck had gone in the net or not, the goal stood.
• Each team had one shot attempt in the opening minutes of overtime, with each goalie handling the chance.
• After another Potsdam penalty, the Bengals displayed excellent puck movement, and Allison's second goal of the game sent the Ice Arena into a frenzy.

 
FOR THE FOES

• Quesnel's two goals led Potsdam, while Connor Green made 33 saves in a losing effort.
