BOXSCORE
Senior
Oliver Wren (Oakville, ONT) made a career-high 53 saves and freshman
Troy Polino (Limerick, PA) scored his first career goal but two early goals and a three-goal second period led to a 6-1 loss in a State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) game Friday night to Plattsburgh, ranked No. 4 in the latest US College Hockey Online (USCHO) poll, at the Stafford Ice Arena in Plattsburgh.
Plattsburgh (4-1-0 Overall, 4-1 SUNYAC) wasted little time getting on the board scoring with just 26 seconds elapsed in the game for the early 1-0 lead. Late in the first period, the Cardinals took a 2-0 lead with a power play goal.
In the second period, Plattsburgh's Ryan Farnan scored three consecutive goals to stretch the lead to 5-0.
Polino netted his first goal as Golden Eagle at the 13:19 mark of the second period with a shot from the point trimming the lead to 5-1 but Plattsburgh added one more goal early in the third period to make it a 6-1 lead.
A period full of penalties but only the one goal ended the game as each team racked up double digit penalty minutes over the final 20 minutes of action.
Wren finished with 53 saves including 19 in the first period of play.
“(Oliver) Wren was our only player out there tonight,” said head coach
Brian Dickinson. “Without Wren, this game could have been 16-1. We were coming off a great win (over Geneseo last Friday) and we didn't perform well at all. We gave them too much space and they are a dangerous team when that happens.”
Brockport continues the road trip with a 7 pm game at Potsdam Saturday.
