Elmira, NY – It was the final regular season home game at First Arena. The Mammoth were decked out in Pink sweaters for Stick it to Cancer Night, these two teams amplified the I-86 Rivalry tonight. 
 The Black Bears got off to a quick start with back to back goals within the first 6 minutes. First it was Tyler Gjurich with a beautiful feed from Gavin Yates and then Don Olivieri got his first of two on the night. Yates and Tyson Kirkby received the helpers.
 The Mammoth would get one of their own two minutes later. After a melee in front of the net Kyle Stevens poked one past Talor Joseph for his 8th of the season. Geno DeAngelo and Luke Richards picked up the assists. The first period would end that way as a 2-1 score.
 It was all Binghamton in the 2nd period. Tyler Gjurich, Austin Thompson, Don Olivieri and Tyson Kirkby each scored to give Binghamton a 6-1 lead.
 The 2nd period also saw both Thomas McGuire and Tyson Kirkby ejected for a 3rd man in penalty. This would only amplify the chipiness for the rest of this one. After two periods of play Elmira trailed by 5 goals to Binghamton.
 The 3rd period would start off with a fight between Tristan Mock and Colan Fitzgerald, the displeasure would continue throughout the period. Just 27 seconds into the 3rd Andrew Logar would find the back of the net to give the Bears a 7-1 lead.
 Yates would add his 20th of the season with a silky move past the defense, Olivieri and Gjurich got the assists, that made the game 8-1.
 Luke Richards continued his streaky play with a goal past Talor Joseph. It was a low wrist shot from Blake Cudmore that Luke Richards tipped in.
 Jesse Anderson and Andrew Logar would go back to back to give Binghamton a 10-2 lead. They each tallied onto their already multipoint nights.
 To give the home crowd something to go home happy about, Dalton Anderson put a wrap-around shot past the pad of Joseph to make it the final score of 10-3.
 The regular season will conclude tomorrow night from Binghamton as the Mammoth look to end their inaugural regular season on a high note.
 They will return home for game 1 of the Commissioner Cup Playoffs against the Danbury Hat Tricks on Friday at 7:35pm.
