Junior James Cody (Schwenksville, PA) scored three goals and six different College at Brockport ice hockey players scored goals as the Golden Eagles' high-octane offense blitzed Western New England College 8-3 Saturday afternoon in the second of a two-game series with the Golden Bears at Brockport's Tuttle North Ice Arena.

A day after rolling Western New England 9-6 Friday night, Brockport's (3-12-1 overall) offense got back at it Saturday, scoring four first-period goals to seize control for good. By the time Cody cemented his first collegiate hat trick on a power play goal with just 28 seconds remaining, Brockport had scored 17 goals over the two-day series, the most in back-to-back home contests since the Golden Eagles scored 16 against Framingham (Mass.) Jan. 11-12, 2008.

The scoring outburst was Brockport's highest two-game total since the Golden Eagles scored 18 goals in back-to-back road games against Neumann College Jan. 18-19 2002.

“For two days, we pretty much had our way with them,” said Brian Dickinson, Brockport's head coach. “It was important for us to play well this weekend. If you don't, it's two weeks until our next game (against Potsdam, Jan. 21) so it can eat at you. We feel well about ourselves after this two-game stretch, but we still have work left to do in the SUNYAC.”

A day after scoring two goals with four assists, junior Ian Finnerty (Ardmore, PA) handed out two more assists and senior Justin Noble (Georgetown, ONT) and sophomore Mike Hayward (Toronto, ONT) each had a goal and two assists.

Freshman Brendon Rothfuss (Webster, NY) had two assists, senior Chris Berardini (Batavia, NY) and junior Adam Shoff (Port Dover, ONT) each had a goal and an assist while senior Tom Galiani (Lindenhurst, NY) added a goal for Brockport.

The Golden Eagles converted on four of nine power play attempts, including a pair in the first period as Noble and Cody scored with the man advantage.

Dickinson said the Golden Eagles' recent offensive prowess can be credited to capitalizing on rebound opportunities, controlling the corners and a good week of practice, when Brockport's players worked on dumping the puck deep into the zone and chasing it down on even-man rushes instead of trying to beat the defense one-on-one and turning the puck over.

Western New England (3-8-1 overall) cut into Brockport's lead and trailed just 5-3 with 9:29 remaining in the third, but Cody and Berardini (first goal of the year) each scored goals 66 seconds apart, and Cody finished the scoring at the 19:32 mark.

“The kids talked me into putting Cody back out there so he could get a chance at his first hat trick," Dickinson said. "It was nice to see him cap it off, hat tricks are rare at our level, so it was a nice personal moment for Cody.

Brockport outshot Western New England 20-8 in the first period, 19-8 in the third and 58-27 for the game. Freshman Joe Reagan (Yonkers, NY) stopped 24 shots for his second win in as many nights.
