Goaltender Chris Bennett, 08’ would settle into his game by stopping 8 shots in the quarter. The Mustangs would find the back of the net three more times in the period and took a 9-5 lead into the intermission. In the third quarter the defense continued to keep the pressure on and defensive middies Mike Perl 07’, Kirk Baldo, 08’ and Mike McDonald 08’ controlled the play between the restraining lines. Dan Mascoveta, 07’ would take an outlet pass from Chris Bennett, 08’ and take the bread to the basket for his first goal of the year. Dan’s goal established the tempo for the rest of the afternoon. In the fourth quarter, Millbrook would only allow Gunnery one goal and add three more to the Mustangs total on the day.
