Third period scoring:

 

4. SCSU — Kalle Kossila 2 (LeBlanc, Brooks Bertsch) 1:23.

LeBlanc took the puck off the boards to Phil Cook’s left, stick-handled around one defender, got past another, flipped it across the slot to Kossila, who had a lot of net to shoot at to make it 4-0.

The Mavericks got the puck into the zone and Mosey ended up with the puck in the faceoff circle to Ryan Faragher’s left and scored on a high wrist shot from the faceoff dot.

 

6. SCSU — LeBlanc 2 (Kossila, Prow) 19:12.

Pretty give-and-go play with LeBlanc carrying it into the corner, leaving it for Kossila. LeBlanc went to the net and Kossila got him the puck back and he scored after carrying it across the slot.
