Matt Zeman (Rocky River, OH) notched the winner and added an assist on the opening goal by Jim Gilbride (Parma, OH). Evan DiValentino (Burlington, ON) picked up a pair of assists.
Fredonia outshot the Bengals 32-20. Sean Sheehan (Mt. Laurel, NJ/Lenape) made 30 saves for Buffalo State, and Rick Cazares (San Jose, CA) stopped 19 shots for the Blue Devils.
