BROCKPORT'S STREAK ENDS TO PLATTSBURGH



From the Brockport Athletic Department...

Sophomore Ray Tremblay (Peachland, BC) and junior Sean O’Malley (Lakeland, OH) each scored goals for The College at Brockport Hockey team but it was not enough as SUNY Plattsburgh scored a 4-2 victory Friday night in a State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) game in Plattsburgh snapping a school-record 10-game unbeaten streak for the Golden Eagles.

After a slow start, Plattsburgh (18-1-2) scored twice in a span of 3:30 late in the opening period to take a 2-0 lead but O’Malley scored with 14 seconds left in the period to narrow the gap to 2-1 at the first intermission.

In the second period, Plattsburgh added a third goal in the first two minutes of action before Tremblay trimmed the lead to a single goal again late in the period with four minutes remaining.

The Golden Eagles continued to apply offensive pressure but with less than four minutes left in the third period, the Cardinals scored for the 4-2 advantage and held on for the conference win.

Freshman Oliver Wren (Oakville, ONT) made 26 saves for Brockport.
