BROCKPORT'S NEWS RELEASE ABOUT LOCKHURST'S AWARD

Freshman goalie Jared Lockhurst (Caledon, ONT/Wellington Dukes) of The College at Brockport Men's Hockey team has been named to the All-Rookie team, voted on by the nine head coaches of the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC).

Lockhurst was the only player on the team not a member of the Geneseo or Plattsburgh squads. The rookie netminder posted a 3-8-2 record on the year, including a victory in his first career appearance in net. Lockhurst led all rookies in both goals against average and save percentage. His 3.02 goals against average was good enough for sixth in the league while his .919 save percentage was the fourth best mark in the SUNYAC.

Lockhurst stopped 42 shots in a 4-2 victory against Buffalo State on Oct. 26 to open up his career. The freshman stopped a career-high 46 shots in a 2-2 tie against then No.7 Hobart on Nov. 9. Lockhurst recorded eight games of at least 35 saves on the year.

LOCKHURST IS ALL-ROOKIE PICK

Brockport's stellar goalie Jared Lockhurst -- who set the new school record for saves percentage this past season -- made the SUNYAC All-Rookie team, selected by the conference's head coaches.

A well-deserved honor. Here's hoping he makes more SUNYAC postseason lists in the future!
