Black Bears Tower Over Sea Wolves, 4-2

by Jon Kliment

The Sea Wolves and Black Bears returned to the Mississippi Coast Coliseum for the middle of a three game set between the two squads. After a quick 3 goal lead set the tone for a Binghamton win in game one Mississippi countered with a new goaltender ahead of the middle game of the season and weekend series.


In a repeat of last night Binghamton tallied first when Gavin Yates found a Daniel Stone rebound and sent the puck over a sprawling Richie Parent at 4:16 of the first period. The Black Bears continued to push and 1:56 later Jesse Anderson was able to beat Parent again for the 2-0 lead.

Mississippi responded in the second period as Tanner Coleman found the back of the net off a Chuck Costello just 2:33 into the period on a drop pass to bring the Sea Wolves back to within just one goal. Binghamton found the momentum after the halfway point at 13:25 of the second period as Dakota Bohn scored and Austin Thompson followed up just twenty two seconds later to make it 4-1. Mississippi continued to battle and on an Emerson Emery penalty late in the second Dalton Anderson found the puck sitting in front of the goal and flipped it over the outstretched Egbert to bring the Sea Wolves back to within two goals, 4-2, but that was as close as they could get.

Parent stopped 38 of 42 in the loss.
