GENESEO, N.Y. -- Stevenson men's hockey fell to second-ranked SUNY Geneseo by a 3-0 tally on Friday night at the Ira S. Wilson Arena. 

Stevenson (9-3-1) saw its six-game winning streak come to an end in the new year, while SUNY Geneseo pushes its record to 12-1-1 behind a pair of goals in the opening period.  

• Off a two-one-one scoring attempt, Stevenson drew a slashing penalty for the game's opening power-play chance. It was Ryan Kenny that needed to be sharp early on the man-advantage for the Mustangs, staying square to a shorthanded attempt. Mac Lowry uncorked a slap shot from the left point that was blocked aside on the power-play opportunity. 
• Off a faceoff win, precision passing led to a one-time goal from Justin Cmunt just above the left circle for a 1-0 Knights lead. Liam McCanney and Brendan Rylott each had quality looks on the ensuing power-play chance for the Mustangs as goalie Chris Perna was up to the task. 
• Burying a loose-puck rebound chance off a scramble in front, SUNY Geneseo converted on the giveaway by taking a 2-0 advantage nearly 13 minutes into the opening stanza. 

• The Knights opened up a 3-0 lead with a goal at the 5:22 mark of the second. Ryan Patrick and Frank Vitucci had quick attempts just over one minute later for the Mustangs. 
• Eric Olson exited the penalty box and quickly laid a pass across to Patrick, who just missed a shortside shot at 11:38. 
• Stevenson applied pressure early on the man advantage after a cross-checking infraction on the Knights, which included a pair of short-range looks from Olson. A few minutes later, Kenny tracked a shot and blocked it aside into the netting at 17:12. 
• Liam McCanney was impressive in the faceoff dot, adding a scoring chance in the final minute of the second. 

• Stevenson generated several scoring chances about five minutes into the period after cycling the puck and maintaining possession in the offensive end.
• Stevenson put its penalty kill to work once again as Kenny made multiple quality saves on a 5-on-3 about 13 minutes into the period. 
• The Mustangs kept the Knights' man-advantage at bay as the period melted away, but could not break through on the offensive side. 

• Stevenson was on the ice for its first game action since December 11. 
• The Mustangs were shutout for the first time this season, posting just two shots in the third period. The last time the Mustangs were held without a goal was in the UCHC Championship against Elmira in April 2021. 
• The Knights have posted three shutouts in their impressive 2021-22 campaign. 
• Stevenson was dealt its first loss since mid-November, coming against third-ranked Utica at the time. 
• Stevenson was 6-for-6 on the penalty kill on Friday. 
• Kenny has been a stalwart in goal all season for the Mustangs, and Friday was no different with 45 saves on the night. He finished just one save of a season-high, set back against SUNY Cortland. 
• Geneseo outshot the Mustangs by a 19-7 count in the opening period to build a 2-0 edge. The Knights maintained the big advantage in shots, leading 31-13 through two periods. 
• Head coach Dominic Dawes did not make the trip with the team to New York because of COVID-19 protocols. Assistants Tom Peffall and Daunte Abercomie will be tasked with handling bench duties for the Mustangs on the road swing. 

• Stevenson: The Mustangs are back in action on Saturday, January 8 for a 4:00 p.m. road matchup at SUNY Brockport. 
• SUNY Geneseo: The Knights return to the ice for road action on Tuesday, January 11 against Nazareth.
