BROCKPORT BEATS ASSUMPTION 4-0





The Brockport Athletic Department reports the following...


Sophomore Oliver Wren (Oakville, ONT) made his third start of the season and stopped all 33 shots to post his first career shutout as he led The College at Brockport Hockey team to a 4-0 victory over Assumption College Wednesday night in the final non-conference game of the season for the Golden Eagles in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Brockport (9-8) recorded its seventh victory in the last 10 games and also represented head coach Brian Dickinson’s 100th career victory at Brockport. It is the final non-conference game of the season as Brockport returns to State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) play Friday against SUNY Potsdam as the Golden Eagles will face eight straight conference opponents down the stretch.

The Golden Eagles took a 1-0 lead with a Tom Galiani (Lindenhurst, NY) goal in the final minute of play in the opening period for his eighth goal of the year.

In the second period, Brockport extended its lead with a pair of goals. James Cody (Schwenksville, PA) scored the first of two power play goals in the period at the 13:05 mark and four minutes later Ray Tremblay (Etobicoke, ONT) scored the first of two goals on the night with an assist from Cody to give the Golden Eagles a 3-0 advantage.

Brockport extended the lead in the third period as Tremblay added his second of the game with 5:30 left to play as Brockport scored its first shorthanded goal of the season.

Wren, starting in place of senior Todd Sheridan (Edison, NJ), made 33 saves including 13 in the second period to record his first career shutout in his 11th career start. Wren also added an assist on Cody’s power play goal.

Cody finished with a goal and two assists and Brockport won the shots on goal battle 56-33. The Golden Eagles were 2-for-5 on the power play.

Dickinson entered the season with 91 career wins as the head coach of the Golden Eagles. He also registered 19 victories as head coach at Buffalo State.
