BROCKPORT TIES HOBART

Shane Cavalieri (Richmond Hill, ONT) scored in the second period, but The College at Brockport men's ice hockey team finished in a 1-1 tie on the road against Hobart on Saturday afternoon.

Neither team could get on the board in the first period. Hobart rifled off shots, but Brockport goalkeeper Jared Lockhurst (Caledon, ONT) made 16 saves to keep things at zero.

The Golden Eagles were the first to strike, scoring on a power play at 9:14 in the second period. Cavalieri finished on the shot with assists from Chase Nieuwendyk (Georgetown, ONT) and Bobby Chayka (Hardwick, NJ).

Just before the end of the period, Hobart answered back with the game-tying goal. Carl Belizario tied things up at one with 38 seconds to play.

Once again, strong goaltending kept either team from scoring in both the third and overtime periods.

Hobart outshot Brockport 45-24. Lockhurst finished the game with a total of 44 saves in 65:00.

The Golden Eagles return to action Friday at home for a State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) matchup against Cortland at 7:00 pm.
