The losses dropped WSC’s record to 3-8 on the season. It was the first contest WSC had played in in nearly a month.

In Friday nights shutout, the Golden Eagles (7-5-2) out shot Worcester State 46-14 while junior Lee Belisle (Chicopee, MA) led the effort with five shots on goal. Classmate Andrew Evans (Cromwell, CT) and freshman Michael Colcord (Gardner, MA) shared time between the pipes as they combined for 39 saves. Their counterpart, junior Todd Sheridan (Edison, NJ), notched his 1,000th career save in the contest.

In Saturday afternoons setback, Brockport scored 30 seconds into the game on a marker by freshman Adam Shoff (Port Denver, Ontario) before Worcester State first-year John Cahalane (Tewksbury, MA) sent in the equalizer at the 6:11 mark. Scoff then tied the score 20 seconds later and the Golden Eagles scored twice more before the period was over to make the score 4-1.

Junior Andy Orsini (Rochester, NY) added a goal on an assist from Cahalane with 12 minutes off the clock in the second before senior Aaron Boyer (Calgary, Alberta) recorded his fourth of the season on a power play goal two minutes later. Freshman Cody Warila (Shirley, MA) then scooped in his first tally of the season just before the second period expired, but it was the last goal that the Lancers would score as Brockport would add two more markers in the third to earn the victory.

Evans, Colcord and junior Brian Robinson (Groveland, MA) each shared time in the net for the Lancers while freshman Oliver Wren (Oakville, Ontario) collected 20 saves to earn his first win of the season for Brockport. WSC faced 62 shots on goal in the contest.
