Penn State Controls Play; Wins game 2-1

 

Penn State finally broke through and beat the Buffalo goaltender early in the second period with a shot by Shane Vassallo.  Penn State was quick to strike again with their second tally after John Beaury hit Anton Pecha with a wide-open pass through the slot. Penn State looked to be in complete control until nine minutes left in the third when Buffalo’s Robert Mirando beat Penn State’s goalie Shane Irwin with a slap shot from the top of the right circle.

 

Both teams exchanged chances the rest of the third period, as Penn State’s goaltender, James Brinser, was able to lift his team to their first win of the season.
