Kenny Neil scored the equalizer less than a minute into the third period on an assist from Matt Galati, tying the game at 3-3.  It was Neil's 12th goal of the season and was scored at the end of a power-play that carried over from the second period.
In the first period, Morrisville got off to a quick start scoring just 28 seconds into the game on a goal by Jordan Carvalho, assisted by Joe Santino and Marc-Antoine Chaput.

At the 14:22 mark, Oswego took a five-minute major for boarding.  Morrisville capitalized on the penalty as Matt Beer scored unassisted with 2:51 left in the period to make it a 2-1 Mustang advantage.
