POTSDAM 5, BROCKPORT 2

The SUNY Potsdam men’s hockey team rallied from an early
deficit to open the 2010-11 campaign with a convincing 5-2 road victory
over SUNY Brockport ). Senior forward Colin MacLennan scored three goals and assisted on a fourth to lead the Bears past the Golden Eagles. Senior captain Fraser Smith and freshman forward Brandon Couto also scored for Potsdam.

The Bears found themselves behind early as Brockport forward Tom Galiani
struck at the 12:51 mark to give the Golden Eagles a 1-0 lead. Brockport’s
advantage lasted just over six minutes before Potsdam evened the score on
the power play. MacLennan netted his first of the night at 18:56 of the
first period with assists from junior forwards Sy Nutkevitch and Todd Hosmer.

The Bears wasted no time in the second period and grabbed the lead for
good as Smith scored on an assist from Couto and MacLennan at the 4:30
mark. Couto registered his first collegiate goal and the eventual game
winner just over nine minutes later for a 3-1 Potsdam advantage.

Eleven minutes into the third period, sophomore defenseman Matt Miller set up MacLennan’s second of the contest. At the 13:26 mark, freshman forward David Carr  recorded his first point as a Bear, assisting on MacLennan’s third goal of the night. With just 2:34 remaining, the Golden Eagles’ Mike Hayward tallied a power-play goal, but Brockport would get no closer as the Bears rolled to the 5-2 win.

Junior goaltender Trevor O’Neill stopped 26 shots in the win for Potsdam. Golden Eagle goalie Oliver Wren made 28 saves for Brockport. The Bears were one for three on the power play and the Golden Eagles finished one for four.
