GENESEO, N.Y. — SUNY-Geneseo weathered all kinds of pressure from Norwich throughout their game Sunday, and when it mattered most, junior sniper Tyler Brickler provided the counterattack to help the home-standing Knights fend off the Cadets, 3-2, in their NCAA Division III hockey quarterfinal.

The Knights (23-6-0) advance to the Division III Frozen Four in Lewiston, where they will square off against St. Norbert of Wisconsin in the 4 p.m. semifinal at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee.

Norwich peppered Geneseo goalie Nick Horrigan with 13 shots in the opening frame, and the last one beat him with one second remaining on the clock to put the visitors ahead 1-0.

Norwich extended its lead to 2-0 at 9:20 of the second when Shane Gorman sent another puck past Horrigan.

That would be the last puck to get past the sophomore keeper, who stopped 15 shots the rest of the way.

Brickler got things rolling for the Knights on the power play at 17:47 of the second on a feed from Zachary Vit, giving the home team life as they broke for the second intermission.

Brickler struck again 1:34 into the third, again on a power play, to knot the game at 2-2, setting up his game-winner at even strength at 6:28.

Lewiston’s Connor Anthoine dressed but did not factor in the scoring for the Knights.
