Brockport (11-5-3 overall, 5-3-1 SUNYAC) won its 11th game for the most wins in a season since the 1997-98 year when the Golden Eagles finished 11-14-1 in head coach Brian Dickinson’s second season behind the bench for Brockport. The win moved the Golden Eagles into sole possession of third place in the SUNYAC standings while extending their unbeaten streak to 10 games and winning streak to four.
Freshman Andrew Simmons (Middleburgh, NY) scored the initial goal of the game with less than five minutes remaining in the first period for Brockport when his shot from the blue line deflected off a Geneseo defenseman and found the back of the net. Brockport made it a 2-0 lead with five minutes left in the second period as Justin Noble (Georgetown, ONT) scored a power-play goal with a centering pass from Cody. The goal gives Noble at least one point in seven of the last eight games.
Three minutes later, Geneseo (10-8-1, 5-4-1) cut the lead to 2-1 as Kevin Galan scored for the Knights. It was the first shot Geneseo could get past senior Todd Sheridan (Edison, NJ), who finished with 29 saves including 16 in the second period.
Early in the third period, Gershon scored on a wrist shot from the point beating his brother, Geneseo goalie Cory Gershon, to give Brockport a 3-1 lead. Cody made it a 4-1 game with one second left in a two-man advantage for the Golden Eagles as Gershon made a nice pass to start the play and Jason Gorrie (Etobicoke, ONT) sent a centering pass to the stick of Cody for a three-goal advantage.
Less than a minute later, Geneseo answered with a Clint Wilson shorthanded goal to shave the lead to 4-2, but sophomore Chris Berardini (Batavia, NY) sealed the victory with 1:16 to play on his second goal of the year.
