SUMMARY: Canon Mac took the early lead when Jill Horan found Greg Pointek for a breakout, and Pointek sped past the Wheeling Park defense, went backhand-forehand to fake the goalie, and sent the puck top-shelf for a 1-0 lead at 8:46 of the first period. Canon-Mac controlled the first two periods in a very physical game, out-shooting the Patriots 15-12, but gave up the tying goal at 1:14 into the second period and did not manage to maintain the pace in the third, getting outshot 13-1 in the period. Ryan Christian stopped 21 straight shots, including a flashy glove save on a breakaway, to preserve the tie.
