How It Happened

Wesleyan nearly opened the scoring late in the first period as junior forward Cam Peritz (Palmer, Mass.) fired a shot on frame, but Falcon keeper Brian McGrath (Worcester, Mass.) was able to deny the scoring chance to preserve the 0-0 deadlock going into the second period.

In the middle frame, Fitchburg State broke the 0-0 stalemate midway through the stanza as freshman defenseman Egan Wolford (San Jose, Calif.) gathered a feed from classmate Gene Bouthiette (Enfield, Conn.) and deposited a shot into the back of the net for his second tally on the season for the 1-0 edge.

In the third period, Wesleyan knotted the score (1-1) 2:41 into the third period when sophomore Quincy Gregg (Stamford, Conn.) connected on his third marker of the year. The Cardinal grabbed the lead three minutes later with sophomore Tyler Levine (Laguna Beach, Calif.) received a pass from newcomer Michael Kerbrat (Laguna Niguel, Calif.) and netted his fourth marker of the 2019-20 campaign, resulting in the 2-1 final..
