FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Cash Anderson's goal pulled the Blue Devils within one, but the deficit was too great for the Fredonia State hockey team as Cortland took a 4-1 SUNYAC victory Saturday afternoon at Steele Hall.
Keenan McNeill supported the offense with an assist. Goaltender Nicholas Morvan totaled 45 saves.
Cortland's Rafael Campo opened the scoring at the 6:05 mark, establishing the Red Dragons' control. The lead was furthered by a goal from Morley Phillips, bringing the score to 2-0 through the end of the first period.
The Blue Devils finally saw their opportunity to close the deficit early in the third. Anderson finished a play set up by McNeill, but Cortland responded with double the force. Garrett Krieger netted Cortland's third goal at the 11:49 mark. A late power play for Fredonia provided an opportunity to make up the deficit before Cortland iced the game away with an empty-netter, bringing the score to its final 4-1.
The Blue Devils will travel to Buffalo State next Friday for their third SUNYAC game of the season.
