On Monday, May 31st it was Memorial Day and there were two games played.  Penfield scored six goals in the third quarter on their way to an 11-8 win at Irondequoit. It was another low-scoring defense-oriented game at Canandaigua where two goals in the last five minutes gave the Braves a 7-5 win over Victor at home.
