FREDONIA, N.Y. – The Skidmore College men's hockey team got two goals and an assist from junior defenseman Mitchell Floccare in a 4-1 road victory at Fredonia on Saturday afternoon.

• Skidmore (4-4-2, 2-3-1 SUNYAC) scored a pair of second-period goals for a 2-0 lead after two frames.
• The hosts cut the deficit in half early in the third period before Floccare scored both of his goals over the final 10 minutes for the 4-1 final.
• Alex Loguercio and Matthew Franzoi were the other goal-scorers for the Thoroughbreds. For Loguercio, it was his first collegiate goal.
• Senior goalie Joshua Seeley turned aside 29 shots for his third win of the year.

• Following a scoreless first period, Loguercio opened the scoring at the 2:42 mark of the second when he snapped in a high blast over the glove on a quick 5-on-3 rush following a forced turnover by Breyer as Fredonia (0-9-1, 0-4-1) was trying to attack.
• Matthew Franzoi made it 2-0 when he slipped behind the Blue Devil defenseman and scored on the breakaway after getting a saucer pass from Christian Day. Floccare had the second assist on the cross-ice stretch pass.
• The hosts pulled to within one at 6:29 of the third with a Keenan McNeill tally from Owen Arnold.
