Geneseo was able to push its lead to 9-2 over the course of the next 30 minutes of action to take a seven-goal lead into the fourth and final quarter.  Brockport's Carson Colucci and Rocco Santillo each registered fourth quarter goals, but the comeback bid proved to be too late as the Knights earned the five goal victory and the right to advance to the SUNYAC Championship game at Cortland on Saturday.
