POTSDAM, N.Y.—SUNY Cortland (5-2, 3-1 SUNYAC) survived a third period surge by the SUNY Potsdam men's hockey team (4-4, 2-2) for a 4-2 win on Saturday night.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Freshman forward Justin Legault (Oakville, Ontario/Burlington Cougars) opened the scoring at 7:39, slamming home a pass across the crease from freshman forward Sam Cristiano (Buffalo, N.Y./Buffalo Jr. Sabres). Sophomore defenseman and Canton Native Nate Boak (Canton, N.Y./El Paso Rhinos) picked up the second assist.
  • At 9:31, graduate student forward Nate Berke (Williamsville, N.Y./Buffalo Jr. Sabres) finished a give-and-go from senior forward Domenic Settimo (East Meadow, N.Y./PAL Junior Islanders) to make it 2-0. Junior defenseman Evan Beaudry (Mississauga, Ontario/Kemptville, Ontario) had the second assist.
  • The Bears closed to 2-1 at 16:25  of the first period after sophomore forward Jakub Hall (Anchorage, Alaska/Richmond Generals) buried a shot from the slot. Freshman forward Owen Watson (Smiths Falls, Ontario/Smiths Falls Bears) and junior forward Mathieu Parent (Kapuskasing, Ontario/Renfrew Wolves) had the assists.
  • Junior forward Max Klanow (Holly, Mich./Hawkesbury Hawks) made the most of a Red Dragons turnover at the side of the net to get the Bears even at 11:38 of the third period.
  • Berke gave Cortland the lead for good with a power-play goal at 13:04 off an assist from Settimo.
  • Bears sophomore goalie Lenny Perno (Rochester, N.Y./Richmond Generals) was pulled for an extra attacker with 1:24 left as Potsdam went on the power play. However, Cortland sealed the win with a shorthanded, empty-net goal 21 seconds later from junior forward Colby Seitz (Eden, N.Y./Corpus Cristi IceRays). Berke and freshman defenseman Dino Mannetta (Wading River, N.Y./PAL Islander) had the assists.
