FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Fredonia State completed its weekend sweep of SUNYAC opponents with a 4-2 home win Saturday night over the Geneseo Ice Knights.
Four different players accounted for goals as the Blue Devils improved to 9-6-3 overall and 4-3-3 in the conference.
Corbin Rosmarin (Rexford) scored both Geneseo goals, the second coming with just 32 seconds remaining. The loss dropped the Ice Knights to 10-9 overall, 4-6 in the SUNYAC.

Brett Mueller (Queensbury) opened the scoring with his third goal of the season at 11:30 of the second period when he muscled the puck past Rubeniuk.

Fredonia State quickly regained the lead on a goal by Bill Sanborn (Monroe), his fifth of the year, with 36 seconds left in the second period. The play began in the defensive end and the Blue Devils rushed the puck up ice. Sanborn ended the rush with a quick backhander following a pretty feed from a teammate.
