Black Bears Fish Out Mullet, 5-1

by Jon Kliment

The Mullet met up with the Black Bears inside Mississippi Coast Coliseum to kick off a three for three weekend. As the FPHL leaders pulled into town the Mullet knew the task was large in front of them and were going to have to find a way to execute. 


Binghamton came out showing why they have first place in the FPHL this season to match with their Championship from last season. Kyle Stephan had his stick in the right place at the right time as Gavin Yates put a shot on net just 3:16 into the first period to go up 1-0. 58 seconds later Austin Thompson once again found a path behind Ed Coffey to give Binghamton a 2-0 edge. Zac Sirota added a third 3:06 later before Mississippi seemed to calm down and begin to find their defense. 

The Mullet came out firing in period two as Carter Eha ripped a shot from the point that was deflected by Curtis Hansen and again by Noah Hippolyte-Smith past Connor MacAnanama just 2:08 into the period to bring Mississippi back to within two, 3-1.

The Black Bears found their spark again just 54 seconds into the third as Khaden Henry found the back of the net against Coffey to make it 4-1 and 3:56 later Sirota tucked home his second for the 5-1 win.

Coffey stopped 37 of 42 in the loss.
