The Mustangs showed great resolve as they scored just 2:00 into the second period. Stevenson drew back a goal off a breakaway to tie the score 1-1.

Amanda Simpson was another positive influence on the game with two shots, as the Mustangs will have to make a mental note on Simpson's contribution for tomorrow's game.

Justina Mayr was terrific in the contest as she made 32 saves in the game and only conceding one goal.

The Knights outshot the Mustangs 37-32.

“I think the layoff provided the slow start for us, but I really believe we were stronger as the game progressed,” mentioned Coach Handrahan.
