Freshman John Countryman (Queensbury, NY/Queensbury) scored his second goal of the game 1:51 into overtime to lead The College at Brockport Men's Lacrosse team to a 10-9 victory Saturday afternoon over Potsdam in a State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) game in Potsdam.
 
Brockport (3-6 Overall, 1-1 SUNYAC) scored the final four goals of regulation to tie the game and force the overtime period. A cross-checking penalty gave the Golden Eagles the man advantage early in the overtime session. Brockport moved the ball around the perimeter of the defense early in the 1:00 man-up opportunity but as time was running down in the penalty, Jesse Elliott (Clifton Park, NY/ Shenendehowa) fired a shot off the pipe but a loose ball push call gave possession back to Brockport and Alex Austin (Rochester, NY/Trinity-Pawling) found Countryman at the top of the crease and fed the freshman a perfect pass before Countryman scored the winning goal as the penalty time expired.
