The Ice Cats slipped to 4-2 on the season after being defeated by a well-rounded Buffalo Canisius team, 4-1, on Saturday night at Mercyhurst.

Saint Ignatius was coming off a tough 3-2 home loss to Walsh Jesuit on Friday night. Canisius handed Walsh Jesuit what is the Warriors' only setback through six games, 7-4, earlier in the season.

The Ice Cats have two home games next weekend at Brooklyn's John M. Coyne Recreation Center - versus University School on Saturday at 4:45 p.m., and versus Gilmour Academy on Sunday at 6:45 p.m.
