ASTON, Pa. -- Fredonia's three-game winning streak ended with an overtime loss Saturday to Neumann, 2-1, in non-conference men's hockey.
Neumann's Anthony Pino pounced on the puck and scored following a faceoff won by teammate Zac Lazzaro to the left of Blue Devil goaltender
Jeff Flagler (Owen Sound, Ont.). The goal came at 2:31 of the overtime.
The loss dropped the Blue Devils to 4-6-3 while Neumann improved to 8-4-2. Included in both marks is a 4-2 Fredonia win on Friday night.
The teams were scoreless after two periods before any of the scoring occurred. Jory Mullen scored the first Neumann goal on a power play with a tip-in of a wide shot by Brandon Gagne from the left point. The Blue Devils evened the score at 1-1 on a short-handed goal by
Stephen Castriota (Bellport, N.Y.). Lurking behind the play, Castriota picked up a loose puck along the right sideboards and cut in hard to put a quick wrist shot past Neumann goaltender Matt Gibney. Fredonia's
Brian Doust (Calgary, Alberta) was credited with an assist.
Pino's game-winner came moments after a penalty on Fredonia ended its power-play chance in the overtime. The Blue Devils were 0 of 9 on the power play in the game.
Gibney finished with 38 saves and Flagler with 31.
The Blue Devils return to action next Friday at Curry.
