SUNY Brockport Athletics

Senior forward Chris Berardini (Batavia, NY) netted the eventual game-winning goal as The College at Brockport’s hockey team knocked off No. 6 Geneseo 3-2 Friday night. Berardini, who scored the second goal of the year, is Brockport’s Male Athlete of the Week.

Berardini received a feed from fellow senior Ray Tremblay (Peachland, B.C.) with 10:20 left in the period and buried the shot to stake Brockport to the 3-2 lead, and the Green and Gold defense made the lead stand. Geneseo entered the game ranked sixth in the latest United States College Hockey Online (USCHO) Division III poll.

It was the first-ever game-winning goal at the collegiate level for Berardini, who has been playing with a heavy heart since the death of his step-mother in late January.
