FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Buffalo State completed a weekend sweep of the Fredonia men's hockey team with a 6-2 victory over the Blue Devils in Steele Hall on Saturday. They earned a 3-1 victory the night before.

The Blue Devils received goals from Damien Kulynych (Calgary, Alberta / Steinbach Pistons (MJHL)) and Jared Wynia (Calgary, Alberta / Calgary Canucks (AJHL)), but could not overcome the Bengal offense and 12 penalties.

The teams traded goals early in the first period. Buffalo State's Ryan Salkeld scored 3:22 into the game. Brett Hope took a shot from the slot and his rebound went to Salkeld who put the puck away for the score.

A minute-and-a-half later, Fredonia answered with a score from Kulynych -- his fifth of the season -- to tie the game at 1-all. Marcus Ortiz (Richardson, Texas / Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights (AtlJHL)) carried the puck along the right-side boards into the Buffalo State zone. He took a shot from high off the face-off circle and Kulynych scored off the rebound as Ortiz was credited with the assist.

Buffalo State took a 3-1 lead, scoring the game's next two goals. Anthony Beaumont scored at the 14:05 mark of the first period, and Jason Zaleski scored 6:27 into the second on a power-play.

Wynia's goal made it a 3-2 game at 12:03 of the second. Oskar Gerhardson (Hässleholm, Sweden / Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights (EHL)) passed to Stephen Castriota (Bellport, New York / New York Bobcats (AJHL)). Castriota carried the puck through the slot and passed to Wynia, who was back door, and scored. It was Wynia's fourth goal of the season.

Buffalo State (10-11-2, 6-6-2 SUNYAC) then took command in the third period with three goals, the last of which was an empty netter. Brett Hope, Zach Nieminen and Taylor Pryce each scored for the Bengals. Nieminen scored on a power play, and Pryce scored a short-handed goal.

In goal, Jeff Flagler (Owen Sound, Ontario / Walkertown Jr.) had 36 saves and allowed five goals in taking the loss for Fredonia. Mike DeLaVergne was credited with 33 saves and the win for Buffalo State.

This weekend put the Bengals back into contention in the Battle by the Lake. With wins in both men's and women's basketball on Friday and a pair of wins in hockey, the Fredonia lead has been cut to 10-6 for the inaugural cup. More points are up for grabs next weekend when the SUNYAC Championships take place in men's and women's swimming and diving.

Fredonia falls to 4-14-5 overall and 0-11-3 in the SUNYAC. The Blue Devils conclude their season at home next weekend when they play host to Geneseo on Friday and Brockport on Saturday.
