HOW IT HAPPENED

• After a tough loss in their SUNYAC opener against the Cortland Red Dragons, the Bengals returned home for their SUNYAC home opener, hosting the SUNY Morrisville Mustangs.
• Opening the first half, the Bengals would go on the attack first, keeping ball control in the Mustangs' defensive zone and forcing their goalkeeper to make tough saves in net. This offensive attack would continue throughout the half, but a late corner chance by the Mustangs would see them break the scoring drought in this contest, netting a goal in the 43^rd minute. Having a strong half but suffering an unlucky break, the Bengals entered the half down a goal to the Mustangs.
• After the halftime break, the Bengals would continue their excellent offensive effort and would be rewarded, as they found the back of the net in the 47^th minute to bring this matchup back even. This goal would be one of four unanswered goals by the Bengals, who'd find the back of the net in the 60^th, 63^rd  and 71^st minutes of this contest, closing out the Mustangs with a 4-1 victory on Coyer Field.

FOR THE FOES

• Alexis Clark scored the lone goal for the Mustangs.
• Ainslie Romasco finished with 13 saves in goal to lead all players.
