Brockport senior goaltender Matt Schneider (Manlius) picked up his fourth career shutout with 22 saves in the Golden Eagles 2-0 victory over Buffalo State to clinch a first round home playoff game for the SUNYAC postseason. Ryan Romeo (Fairport) and Jeremy Solat were the goal scorers.
Geneseo senior Conlan Keenan (Penfield) netted his fifth career hat trick as the Knights won their sixth straight 4-2 over Fredonia to clinch the SUNYAC regular season crown and top seed for the conference playoffs.
Nazareth cliched a playoff spot with a 5-2 win over Chatham as the second line of James McDonald (Potsdam), Mateo Capriotti and Casey Kubara combined for five points. They will be on the road for the first round as either the fifth or sixth seed in UCHC.
R.I.T. freshman forward Elijah Gonsalves registered his first collegiate multi-goal game and, with line-mates Caleb Moretz and Jake Hamacher, accounted for a combined six points in the Tigers 5-1 win to sweep Bentley.
The Tigers now have earned at least one point in seven of their last eight games and need just one point over their final four regular season games to clinch a first round bye.
