Freshmen Koby Dusett and Cooper Johnson each scored their first varsity goals and Riley Emmerson registered his first shutout of the season as Brockport topped West Seneca West 4-0 in non-conference high school hockey.
After a scoreless first period where the Blue Devils outshot the Indians 12-5, Brockport scored twice in 13 seconds in the second period.
Dylan Sharpe redirected a Walden Grady shot from the right point on the power play at 8:33. On the ensuing faceoff, Andrew Harley chased a dump-in behind the West Seneca net and put a perfect backhand pass right on the stick of Dusett, who buried it at 8:46 to put the Blue Devils ahead 2-0.
In the third period, Matt Roe and Harley finished off a two-on-one break with Harley finding the back of the net through the five-hole at 8:48.
Brockport finished the scoring with just 42 seconds remaining as Roe dragged the puck around a defender, skated to the left wide of the slot and found Johnson in the slot for his first goal.
Emmerson made 16 saves in net for his first shutout this season and the second of his career. His first came Jan. 21 last season against Batavia/Alexander.
The Blue Devils got off to a 1-5 start to the season, but were 5-1-2 over the last eight games heading into late January.
“We’re gonna be the type of team nobody wants to play (in the playoffs),” Brockport head coach Greg Stahl said. “This stretch is a reflection of what we’ve been doing in practice every day. It was nice the see the freshmen get on the scoresheet.”
The Blue Devils will try to avenge earlier losses to the Greece Thunder and Spencerport in back-to-back games February 7 and 10 as they wind down the regular season.
