The Mustangs skated to a 4-1 victory Saturday over host of the PAL Cup, Southern New Hampshire University.

Bochert picked up another assist at the 11:32 mark when Rich Hart (Liverpool, NY) lit the lamp for the first time this season.
Jestin Somero extended the lead to 3-0 1:21 into the second period. Eric Melso and Austin Johnson assisted. SNHU finally broke through at 14:14 of the second cashing in on a power-play opportunity. Late in the third the PenMen pulled their goalie for an extra attacker, but that was shut down quickly thanks to a Ben Sprague empty net goal. Jared Young made 35 saves in net for Morrisville.
