BUFFALO, NY—No. 6-ranked RIT (4-0/4-0) completed the weekend sweep of Buffalo State (1-2/0-2), defeating the Bengals, 3-1, in an ECAC West game today at the Ice Arena.

RIT opened the scoring with a shorthanded goal three minutes into the second period. Buffalo State evened things with a power-play goal at the 14:43 mark, as Mariah Fairgrieve (Ft. Erie, ON/Lakeshore Catholic) scored her first of the season with an assist from Melissa Jeckovich (Niagara Falls/Niagara Falls). The Tigers regained the lead less than two minutes later with another shorthanded tally. RIT added another goal in the third frame to seal the victory.
