CORTLAND, NY — What a way to start the weekend.

After nearly three full periods of physical play, the Red Dragons finally broke through on offense. Cortland senior Mia Hlasnick slung a wrist shot over the shoulder of Canton goalie Molly Lenihan and suddenly the game was tied.

With momentum on their side, the Dragons made quick work in overtime. Cortland sophomore Drew Kopek fired another laser past Lenihan and the celebration was underway.

A win is a win, but Cortland did not look bulletproof. The team went 0-3 on the power play and could not capitalize on some juicy rebounds near Canton’s net.

Still, the Dragons can sleep well heading into Saturday. They beat a good team without playing their best hockey.
