HAYDEN IS SUNYAC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK

The College at Brockport’s ice hockey team picked up its first win of the season Saturday night, recording a 4-2 home victory over Cortland at Tuttle North Ice Arena. Freshman defenseman Patrick Hayden (Springfield, PA/Philadelphia Little Flyers) netted the eventual winning goal early in the third period, and Hayden was honored by the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) as its ice hockey Rookie of the Week for the Nov. 29-Dec. 5 period.

Hayden’s goal just two minutes and 14 seconds into the final period staked the Golden Eagles (1-10-1 overall, 1-7 SUNYAC) to a 3-1 lead. Brockport would need that goal as Cortland cut the lead to one late in the game, but the Golden Eagles defense, led by Hayden, made the lead stand.
