Berardini received a feed from fellow senior Ray Tremblay (Peachland, B.C.) with 10:20 left in the period and buried the shot to stake Brockport to the 3-2 lead, and the Green and Gold defense made the lead stand. Geneseo entered the game ranked sixth in the latest United States College Hockey Online (USCHO) Division III poll.
It was the first-ever game-winning goal at the collegiate level for Berardini, who has been playing with a heavy heart since the death of his step-mother in late January.
