period. Senior forward Shane
Murphy (Tolland, Conn./The Gunnery School) and freshman
forward Anthony Chighisola
(Whitman, Mass./Archbishop Williams) collected assists on
the goal. However, LaBreck’s goal was sandwiched between
goals by Alarie and Smail for Morrisville State at the 1:44 and
13:11 marks, respectively. Alarie’s fifth of the season came
from sophomore defenseman Derek Matheson (Durham, Ontario) while
Smail’s first of the year was assisted by Cedin as the
Mustangs held a 6-1 lead after two periods.

11:51 mark with his third goal of the season from sophomore
defenseman Garrett Leigh (New Hartford, N.Y./New York Bobcats) and
junior forward Stefan Carnegie (Woodbridge, Ontario).
