BUFFALO, N.Y. – Matt Thomson and Ryan Mansfield scored and Nicholas Grabko made two saves to give Bentley a 2-0 shootout victory over Canisius on Saturday night.

The game ended in a 2-2 tie, but the shootout win gave the Falcons two points from the game and five from the weekend after Friday's 3-0 victory.

Thomson scored in the first round of the shootout and Grabko denied Canisius' Oliver Tarr for a 1-0 lead. The second round saw Bentley's Ryan Upson denied and Grabko save the attempt by Griffin Loughran to keep it 1-0.

That meant that Bentley would win if Mansfield scored, and he did just that with a wrist shot that beat David Fessenden to the stick side for the goal.

Bentley led 2-1 in regulation on goals by Nick Bochen in the 2^nd period and Thomson in the 3^rd period.

Bochen's goal at 8:00 of the 2^nd period came on a slap shot blast from the top of the left circle and was assisted by Arlo Merritt and Garrett Horsager. That tied the game 1-1 and was his 4^th of the season.

Thomson then gave the Falcons a 2-1 lead 3:30 into the 3^rd period. His initial shot from the slot was saved but he was first to the rebound and put it past Fessenden for his 2^nd of the year.

Canisius pulled Fessenden for an extra attacker with 1:06 remaining. The Falcons looked to be on their way to a regulation victory with five seconds left and a faceoff in Canisius' offensive zone, but the Griffs won the draw and Loughran scored from a tight angle with just 0.2 seconds remaining to send the game to overtime 2-2.

Neither team scored in the 3-on-3 overtime to send the game to the shootout.
