SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The SUNY Geneseo Men's Ice Hockey team dropped its first game of the season, falling to host Skidmore, 4-3, on Saturday night in Saratoga Springs. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Geneseo opened the scoring just after the 12:00 mark of the first period when Alex Wilkins fed Stefan Miklakos for a score. 
• Later in the period, the Knights took back-to-back minor penalties that resulted in a pair of power play goals for the Thoroughbreds as the home team took a 2-1 lead into the first intermission. 
• The Knights tied the game in the first minute of the second period as Peter Morgan connected with Justin Cmunt for the score, tying the game 2-2. 
• With just over five minutes to go in the second period, Skidmore took the lead once again, 3-2, with its third power play score of the evening. 
• Early in the third period, Geneseo tied the game 3-3 as Cooper Fensterstock tallied his first goal in a Knights sweater with just over 15:00 to play. 
• Midway through the third, Skidmore scored on the power play again to take a 4-3 lead. 
• The Knights had chances down the stretch but could not find the game-tying goal, falling to the Thoroughbreds. 

QUICK FACTS 

• Cmunt and Miklakos each notched their second goal of the season, tying for the team lead. 
• Fensterstock becomes the 11th different Knight to score this season through four games. 
• Sophomore goalkeeper Adam Harris made 24 saves but the Knights went just 3-for-7 on the penalty kill as the Thoroughbreds score all four goals on the power play. 
• Geneseo was 0-for-5 on the man advantage and have scored just one power play goal in 21 chances this season.
