The Brockport Ice Hockey team was defeated on the road at #10-ranked
Oswego State, 4-1, on Saturday, November 8th. The Golden Eagles fell to
1-3 on the season following the loss at Oswego.
The Lakers wasted no time celebrating Military Appreciation Night, with
Ryan Burke lighting the lamp 5:10 into the first period to open the
scoring. Oswego would generate several scoring chances in the first, but
14 Dax Easter saves would keep the Oswego lead at 1-0 entering the second period.
In a back-and-forth second frame, the Lakers would double their
advantage late in the period. Connor Gatto would find the back of the
net on the power play to put Oswego up 2-0 entering the final period.
Needing a spark in the final 20 minutes, Schuyler Flansburg would connect for Brockport. Freshman Brody Seitz would find Flansburg just 56 seconds into the third period, bringing Brockport within one goal.
Despite scoring chances in the period from Josh Grund, Victor Malzahn, and Spencer Flansburg, two third-period goals from Oswego State would halt the Golden Eagles' comeback bid.
Dax Easter kept Brockport within striking distance in the loss, making a career-high 40 saves.
Victor Malzahn was active on defense, leading all players with three shot blocks.
