BROCKPORT BEATS POTSDAM 4-2





The Brockport Athletics Department reports on last night's game...


Sophomore James Cody (Schwenksville, PA) scored early in the third period to complete a comeback effort for The College at Brockport Ice Hockey team as the Golden Eagles scored a 4-2 victory over SUNY Potsdam Friday night in a State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) game at the Tuttle North Ice Arena in Brockport.

Brockport (10-8 overall, 4-5 SUNYAC) fell behind early, allowing a pair of first-period goals, but started its comeback with a Justin Noble (Georgetown, ONT) goal late in the first period.

In the second period, freshman defenseman Adam Korol (Hurley, NY) took a pass at the point and skated in two strides before sending a slap shot into the back of the net to tie the score with less than five minutes gone in the period.

The score remained tied until the third period when Cody scored on a diving shot after the Potsdam goalie made the initial save on a Ray Tremblay (Peachland, BC) shot from close range.

Late in the period, Adam Shoff (Port Dover, ONT) stole the puck in the neutral zone and skated in for an empty-net goal for the final margin.

Senior Todd Sheridan (Edison, NJ) finished with 36 saves including 13 in each of the final two periods to record the victory.
