The Ice Dawgs win the first ever Egg Cup title with a lopsided 10-0 blowout of Ole Miss.
In front of over 2,500 fans, the Ice Dawgs held nothing back and scored 10 unanswered goals against state rival Ole Miss to give goalie Chris Pinelli his first shutout of his career with MSU.
The first goal scored of the night was an unexpected one: a shorthanded 5-on-3 wrist-shot from the blue line by Corey McCarn, notching his first career point for MSU. The following 3 goals were also short-handed goals, completely bewildering the Rebels' Power Play unit. Chance Morreale had a great night, tallying 1 power play goal and 3 assists.
As the crowd let loose with droves of cowbells and boos for Ole Miss, the Ice Dawgs were relentless in their attack and had notched 10 goals by the middle of the 3rd period. As Ole Miss lost its composure earning 3 game DQs, MSU maintained discipline and their lead, winning the first ever Egg Cup in ACHA history.
