The College at Brockport ice hockey team dropped their final State
University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) contest of the
season against SUNY Geneseo on Saturday, 1-0. The Golden Eagles wrap up
the 2017-2018 season with a record of 11-13-1 (5-10-1 SUNYAC), while the
Knights move to 16-5-3 (10-3-3).
Brockport trailed halfway through the first period when Geneseo took a 1-0 lead 11 minutes into the contest. The Green and Gold tried to answer when they were awarded a power play opportunity, but the Knights penalty kill shut down any offensive threat. The Golden Eagles kept the intensity up for the remainder of the period ripping off seven shots, but were unsuccessful in tying the game up.
The Green and Gold suffered an early penalty in the second period to give them a man-down disadvantage. The Brockport penalty kill locked down too, and only allowed one shot on frame during the Geneseo power play. Both teams battled it out for the remainder of the period as the score stayed the same, going into the final period.
The Golden Eagles fought hard throughout the third period but fell short in finding the back of the net. Brockport teed off a total of 23 shots throughout this period, but none could beat the goalie, who held on to a final 1-0 win.
Brockport goalie Matt Schneider had a strong day between the pipes, finishing with 27 saves and a .964 save percentage.
This concludes Brockport ice hockey's season and will return a healthy amount of talent to make a run in the SUNYAC next year.
