Georgian Court, however, answered with a 5-3 run to close the game, including a 4–1 stretch to begin the fourth quarter that proved decisive.

Luca Runyan led the team with three assists, while Levantini added two helpers and Trama and Napoli chipped in one apiece.

At the faceoff X, Connor Cullen once again delivered an outstanding performance, winning 16 of his 22 attempts to give Bridgeport valuable possessions.

In net, Matthew Hughes registered 12 saves, marking his fourth game this season with double-digit stops.

Bridgeport generated consistent pressure throughout the game, forcing Georgian Court's goalkeeper to make 15 saves, as both teams finished the contest with 25 shots on goal.
