THE BASICS

• Result: #13/14 Elmira 2, SUNY Canton 0
• Location: Terry Martin Arena – Canton, NY  
• Records: SUNY Canton (0-1-1) | Elmira (2-0-0)

HOW IT HAPPENED

• After a scoreless first period, Elmira's Mo McBride cashed in, tucking in her own rebound past Lenihan who made the initial stop.  The goal was scored at 6:40 of the second period and was assisted by Georgia MacInnis.
• McBride kept the momentum in the Soaring Eagles direction in the third, making a nifty move in the slot to beat a defender and snapping a shot off the right post and into the net to put Elmira up 2-0.
