RIT (1-1-1) scored late in the first half despite Brockport (2-0-1) holding an 8-4 shots advantage in the period.
The Golden Eagles tied the game with less than seven minutes left in the second half when Doug DiSanti (Dix Hills, NY/St. John the Baptist) started an offensive rush up the field by passing forward to Mike Bremen (Merrick, NY/Bellmore-JFK). Bremen’s crossing pass was deflected but Abgarian picked up the loose ball and raced past two defenders near the top of the 18-yard box before sending a shot past the RIT goalie to tie the game at 1-1.
In overtime, both teams had scoring chances but Brockport’s Brad Lefort (Chittenango, NY/Chittenango) had the best scoring opportunity when his shot late in the second overtime rang off the crossbar.
Junior Joe Marino (Rochester, NY/McQuaid) was credited with six saves and has allowed just one goal in the first three games of the season for the Golden Eagles.
