Bridgman then struck for his second goal of the year when he tallied a power play score from Wilson and senior Corey Frizell (Orleans, Ontario) at the 8:21 mark of the third period.

Wesleyan notched four goals in the second period including three straight from Nick Craven to take control of the game.

Freshman goalie Luis Puig (Chicago, Ill.) played the first two periods for SUNY Canton and made 24 saves before being replaced by sophomore Morgan Barr (Almonte, Ontario) who made three saves in the final period.

Matt Hadge had 11 saves for Wesleyan.

The Roos return to the ice on Sunday for a game at Trinity College in West Hartford, Conn. at 1 p.m.
