PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – The College at Brockport men's soccer team dropped a State University of New York Athletic Conference game on Friday, falling to Plattsburgh State, 1-0.
 
The Golden Eagles are now 2-10-2 on the year and have a 1-6-1 record in league play while the Cardinals move to 10-5-1 in 2016 and 3-4-1 in the SUNYAC.
 
The contest would prove to be a closely contested one, as the Green and Gold defense worked to hold off any Cardinal advances while the offense fought to gain any advantage. Brockport fell behind in the 29th minute when Plattsburgh netted a goal to take a 1-0 lead. The Golden Eagle offense couldn't find the back of the net, and took a 1-0 deficit into the half.
 
In the second period, Brockport's defense stepped up, blanking the Cardinals through 45 minutes of action. The Golden Eagles were unable to work in a score, and ultimately fell, 1-0.
 
The Green and Gold worked for 11 shots in the contest, with three on target and were awarded more corner kick opportunities by a tally of 10-8. Quintin Volpe led Brockport in shots, with four while Nikolas Sgaraglio and Chris Aherne each had two.
