After coming up short three times last season, the Buffalo Bulls (5-5, 2-0 NECHL) men’s hockey team toppled rival Niagara Purple Eagles (2-8, 2-1 NECHL), 4-2, in their first attempt this season.
Buffalo is now .500 and in the midst of a 3-game win streak. They are undefeated in two league games and look to capitalize off the momentum after beating their NECHL rival.
“It’s definitely a pivot point,” said forward Eric Szczecinski. “It seems like the first couple games of the season we started out a little bit slow but especially after today’s win, we’re really on the upbeat for the rest of the season.
