Brockport upends men痴 hockey, 4-1
BROCKPORT, N.Y.裕he College at Brockport (6-9-3, 3-5-1 SUNYAC) scored two
third period goals to hold off the SUNY Potsdam men痴 hockey (6-12, 1-8)
for a 4-1 victory on Friday night. Junior defenseman Max Fogel
(Williamsville, N.Y./Buffalo Jr. Sabres) scored for the Bears.
Golden Eagle Chris Cangro opened the scoring at the 13:24 mark of the
first period with a power-play tally. The Bears managed good pressure
through most of the period with a 14-9 shot total. However, they entered
the break down 1-0.
Chris Luker made it a 2-0 contest just 2:54 into the second period. Again
Potsdam responded with a barrage of shots on Brockport goalie Jared
Lockhurst. The effort finally paid off at 16:13 as Fogel buried his first
of the year with an assist from sophomore forward Jake Rivera (Pacific
Palisades, Calif./Hartford Wolfpack). The Bears again finished with an
advantage in shots at 15-11, but ended the middle stanza trailing 2-1.
Chase Nieuwendyk gave Brockport another power-play goal 51 seconds into
the final 20 minutes and the Golden Eagles regained their two-goal lead.
The play in the third period was tighter than the previous periods. Andrew
Parks tacked on some insurance to cap the scoring at 4-1 with less than
seven minutes to left.
Bears senior goalie Shane Talarico (Greensburg, Pa./Elmira College)
finished the night with 25 saves, while Lockhurst earned the win with 38
stops. The Golden Eagles were 2-6 on the power play and Potsdam went 0-7.
The Bears are back in action tomorrow night when they travel to Geneseo
