HOW IT HAPPENED

• After a scoreless first period, the Roos got on the board early in the second.  Working hard behind the net, junior Ashten Morris dug a puck out from between two Cortland defenders to feed Schemenauer in the slot.  Schemenauer's shot deflected off goaltender Molly Georgen and into the net to make the score 1-0 Canton.
• Midway through the second the Roos doubled their lead when Cote stole a Red Dragon clearing pass and buried a wrister over the blocker of Georgen to put Canton ahead 2-0.
• Cortland closed the gap at 13:34 of the third period when Grace Karakas beat Lenihan, blocker high, making the score 2-1.
