Devils pull upset on #6 Geneseo

FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Marcus Ortiz (Richardson, Texas) celebrated Senior Night with two goals and Eric Bogart stopped 31 of 32 shots to lead Fredonia over nationally ranked Geneseo, 5-1, in SUNYAC  men's hockey Friday night.

Ortiz's first goal of the night proved to be the game-winner while his second goal capped the Blue Devils' night against the No. 6 ranked Knights. Ryan Dunn ( Rockland, Mass.), Jimmy Morgan (Highlands Ranch, Col.), and Todd Schauss (Terryville, Conn.) had Fredonia's other goals.

Bogart improved to 8-6-1 this season while the Blue Devils upped their record to 12-8-2 overall and 6-6-1 in the SUNYAC. They are back in action Saturday night at Brockport with a chance to clinch a playoff spot.

The Knights dropped to 14-5-3 overall and 8-4-1 in the conference.

Dunn opened the scoring at 8:19 of the first period with his third goal of the season when he tapped the puck home off a 2-on-1 rush with Oskar Gerhardson (Haessleholm, Sweden). Ortiz made it 2-0 Fredonia when he broke in alone and muscled around a defenseman to get his shot off for his 10th goal.

Morgan's ninth goal made it 3-0 at 4:16 of the second period when he scored from the slot after taking a pass from behind the cage. Jacob Haynes (Whitby, Ont.) and Samuel Wilbur (Saginaw, Mich.) earned assists.

Fifteen seconds later, Geneseo's Arthur Gordon cut the margin to 3-1 before Schauss got the goal back when he cashed in from the right wing after receiving a pass from Morgan coming down the left side. It was the seventh goal of the season for Schauss. Dunn picked up the second assist.

Ortiz completed the scoring with a snap shot while trailing the play and receiving a pass from Hunter Long (Lebanon, Tenn.). Mac McAvoy (Port Colborne, Ont.) also assisted.

Fredonia improved to 7-5-1 at home, 9-1-2 when leading after one period, and 10-0-1 when leading after two. They are also 10-2-2 when scoring the first goal.

The five Fredonia seniors -- Ortiz, McAvoy, Long, back-up goaltender Chris Paulin (Lockport, N.Y.), and Frankie Hart (Timmins, Ont.) -- were recognized prior to the game.
