The Squirrels won their first game in the C2 division Thursday, beating the last place team, Syracuse, 7-5, thanks to hat tricks from Mike Bronson and Chris Wautel. Rob Myers scored the other goal.
The Squirrels went down 2-0 in the first period but Bronson and Wautel each notched goals in the final two minutes of the period.
The Squirrels went up 3-2 in the second period as Bronson scored again. Syracuse answered back, then the Squirrels regained the lead as Myers shot in Chris Long’s pass. But Syracuse scored again and the score was 4-4 going into the final period.
Bronson scored shorthanded only 10 seconds into the third period, and Wautel gave the Squirrels a two-goal cushion about two minutes later. Syracuse scored on the power play but that was as close as they could get before Wautel scored his third of the game to give the Squirrels a 7-5 win.
The Squirrels outshot Syracuse, 7-5, behind backup goaltender Paul Diosuran.
The next game is Thursday, Jan. 31, against the Fighting Docs at 10.
