Insane<\/strong>
\nThat’s the only way to describe Saturday’s action. One game had the teams’ exchange the go-ahead and tying goals in the last 13 seconds of regulation. The top team in the country blew a 4-0 lead. The team that made the comeback took a roughing penalty when regulation time ran out to lose the game on the subsequent power play. Then, there was the game that took two days and two rinks on two different campuses to finish.
\nThe wild ending occurred in the Cortland at Buffalo State game. With the score tied 2-2, Cortland took the lead with 13 seconds left on a goal by Michael Lysyj.
\nThirteen seconds left. Well, that should be a victory for the Red Dragons. What could Buffalo State do in 13 seconds? Get one rush off the face off? And if they pull their goalie, would the extra attacker even get into the play on time to make a difference? What could possibly … Trevor McKinney scored with two seconds left to tie the game with that extra attacker on the ice.
\nNobody scored in overtime, and that’s how the game ended.
\nCortland kept taking one-goal leads. First Peter Lompado’s second period power-play goal and then Jarrett Gold’s short-hander. Daniel Andersson and Drew Klin on the power play tied it up each time. Then came the insane last 13 seconds.
\nOswego built up a 4-0 lead at Fredonia on first period goals by Stephen Mallaro (power play) and Ian Boots and second period goals by Tyler Leimbrock and Owen Kelly. The fourth goal chased Mark Friesen from the net, replaced by Jeff Holloway.
\nWhat could possibly happen? The number one team in the country builds a four-goal lead against a team that thinks defense first. Paul Beckwith is back from an injury and looking as good as ever, yielding one goal in almost five periods of play. Fredonia puts their backup goaltender in.
\nThis contest is over … Billy Sanborn breaks the shutout late in the second, Bryan Ross scores a two-man advantage power-play goal early in the third, Andrew Christ pulls the game to within one before the third period is half over, and Mat Hehr ties the game with his goalie pulled with only five seconds left in regulation.
\nFredonia now has all the momentum in the world. Nothing can slow them down heading into overtime … Brad Nunn is called for roughing as the third period horn sounds. Oswego goes on the power play, and 55 seconds later, Paul Rodrigues wins it for the Lakers on a one-timer from the left circle.
\nGeneseo was cruising, scoring twice in the first 4:04, Stefan Decosse 36 seconds in and Brandon Angotti. Mike Arnold got one back for Potsdam on the power play, but Ryan Bulach returned the two-goal lead on their own power play. Geneseo outshot Potsdam 13-4 in that first period.
\nWhat could possibly slow down the Ice Knights? Finish up the two periods
