THE BASICS

• Location: Roos House – Canton, NY
• Records: SUNY Canton (1-2-0) | Framingham State (0-2-0)

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Roos opened the scoring on a beautiful passing play as sophomore Jackson Drysdale skated the puck into the zone and drove down the left side before passing to classmate Niko Schoner.  Schoner slid the puck cross-crease to freshman Brayden Fryfogle who buried the puck past goaltender Alex Timmons.  The goal was scored at 12:37 and was a power play tally.
• Canton struck again less than two minutes later when Zotter tipped a Jake Howard shot in front of the net to put the Roos up 2-0.  Sophomore Bobby Voss assisted on the goal which was scored at 14:09 of the first period.
• Senior captain Brendan Morrow put Canton up 3-0, wristing a shot between Timmons body and blocker.  Fryfogle earned the assist on Morrow's goal at 13:19 of the second.
• Zotter scored his second goal of the game on a backhand pass from Howard, lifting the puck up and over the glove hand of Timmons.  The goal came at 5:12 of the third period and senior Colton Sipperley was credited with the secondary assist.
• Johnny Baker scored for the Rams just over a minute later to close the gap to 4-1 but Canton was able to close out the third for the victory.
