Dec 13th – Ingersoll was at home hosting Cayuga with Malchesky in net. This night Ingersoll was in complete control right from the first drop of the puck. Goyette opens the scoring from a Cayuga turnover in their end where he stepped up from the blue line with a wrist shot that goes bar down. Shortly after Goyette finds himself in the Ingersoll defensive end where he makes a 50 ft saucer pass to Graham where he would go in to beat the Cayuga goalie five hole to put Ingersoll up 2-0. In the beginning of third period Rizzo dangles three frustrated Cayuga defenders and beats the goalie to put Ingersoll ahead 3-1. Zegers would finish the scoring with an empty net goal that gave Ingersoll a 4-1 win.

Rizzo again finds himself in front of the net in the second period cleaning up on a rebound and scores to give Ingersoll a 2-0 lead. Not done there Rizzo gets his name on the score sheet again making a beauty pass to Dyzengal out front where he would make no mistake Ingersoll now leading 3-0.
