Katie Gildemeyer (Baldwinsville, NY/C.W. Baker) scored two goals to help The College at Brockport Women's Soccer team clinch its first ever regular season State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) championship. The Golden Eagles defeated Plattsburgh 2-1on Senior Day to claim the title and a first-round bye in the upcoming SUNYAC Tournament.  

The Golden Eagles finish the regular season with a conference record of 7-1-1 and a 14-1-2 overall record. The SUNYAC Tournament is set to begin on Saturday, Oct. 27 with the first round games. With the first round bye, Brockport will have to wait until Wednesday, Oct. 31 to play the winner of No. 4 Cortland and No. 5 Buffalo State at 1:00 pm.

For the second consecutive day, the Golden Eagles provided all of their scoring in the first half. Gildemeyer paced Brockport with the two goals, her first career multi-goal game. Kaila Maguire (Potsdam, NY/Potsdam) and Sarah Lawson (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca East) each had one assist on the day.

Gildemeyer's first goal came at the 14:40 mark of the first half as Maguire dribbled near the endline and found her teammate who buried the shot from the left side of the box. The assist was the eighth of the year for Maguire, second on the team behind Lawson.

Brockport hung on to the one goal lead until the 35th minute when Gildemeyer struck again for her seventh goal of the season. Lawson came into the Plattsburgh box and fired a shot from the right side that hit the cross bar. Gildemeyer was positioned right in front of the net to collect the rebound and put Brockport up by two.

With the assist, Lawson set the school record for most career assists with 27. The senior has nine helpers this season. Lawson also holds the school record for most assists in a season with 13, set in 2010.

A second half goal by the Cardinals kept the game interesting as the rain and wind began to play a factor in the game. The Brockport defense clamped down for the final 30 minutes to secure the victory. Hannah Conine (Conesus, NY/Livonia) earned her second win in as many days as the junior registered five saves.

Brockport will play host to the winner of Cortland and New Paltz in the SUNYAC Tournament. The Golden Eagles defeated Cortland on Oct. 12 3-2. New Paltz handed Brockport its only conference tie of the year on Sept. 29 as the two teams played to a 1-1 draw.

The Oneonta Red Dragons clinched the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye while Fredonia will be the No. 3 seed and Buffalo State earned the final spot.
