#7 Mizzou Avoids Upset Bug Against #10 Arizona State

Feasterville, PA - The 7/10 game is the one that usually produces the upsets, but Missouri would have none of it tonight, winning 12-2 to advance to the Sweet 16. 

 

Jimmy Frala (O'Fallon, MO), David Rey (St. Peters, MO) and Joseph McGuire (Manchester, MO) scored for Missouri for a three nothing lead after one period of play. Reys goal at the 7:40 mark of the period gave Mizzou the 2-0 lead and they would never look back. McGuire extended that lead and close the scoring for the period with his first of the game on the man advantage.

 

Derek Bolls (Casa de Coza, CA) got the Sun Devils of Arizona State on the board with an unassisted goal to start the scoring in the second period but from there it was all Mizzou. Sean Philbin and Jimmy Frala (O'Fallon, MO) sandwiched a goal each around a pair of goals from Doug Simpson to take the commanding 7-1 lead after two periods.

Missouri added numerous goals in the third period to end up winning going away and advancing in the bracket to the Sweet 16 and square off against #2 Michigan State.
