Brandon Henshaw netted two second period goals as Brockport opened a 4-0 lead to eventually defeat Spencerport 5-1 in high school hockey.
Cody Johnson began the scoring just 1:07 into the contest when he was able to put a loose puck into the empty after the Rangers goaltender came out of his net.
In the second period, defenseman Zachery Coughlin took a pass from Matt Roe and put a low shot from the left point into the net at 1:05 for a 2-0 Brockport lead.
Henshaw then netted his two goals – the first on a tip off point shot from Danny Viscardi at 7:28 and the second at 11:38 after taking a long pass from Coughlin and skating cross crease to put a forehand shot into the back of the net for a 4-0 lead.
Spencerport’s Evan Connolly got the Rangers on the board with a power play goal off a rebound from a Jackson Charron wraparound attempt. Jamie Cammilleri took the initial shot from the left point and also was credited with an assist.
Brockport finished the scoring at 4:40 of the third when Dylan Sharpe redirected a pass from behind the net by Roe for his first varsity goal.
Doug Liebe made 14 saves in net for the Blue Devils while Matt Sahrle and James Maier combined to make 30 saves for Spencerport.
“We had a little letdown after the first period, but it was a long week with a little weight room work and video and teambuilding things,” said Brockport head coach Greg Stahl. “We got some good shots from the point.
“We lost 14 players and only returned four skaters, but we do return two of our goalies which is big for us. Those guys are the catalyst and we’ve been playing them a lot, but they’ve been doing the job.”
Brockport improved to 4-0 with the win.
