Prior to the game the Golden Eagles honored their three seniors, Quinton Volpe, Connor Desantis and Dylan Serfis. The College at Brockport thanked these three men for all the hard work and dedication they've put in throughout their four years.
 
The Red Dragons were the first team on the scoresheet in this matchup, Cortland found the back of the net at 11:46 of the first half. Brockport's goalkeeper Tautis Poniskaitis, faced 10 shots in the first half, five of which he was forced to make a save on. Brockport looked like they'd have a chance at knotting it up at 34:37, when Matheus Oliveira went up for a header but the ball rolled wide.
 
The second half began similar to the first, with Cortland finding an opening in the Golden Eagles defense and scoring their second of the night. Brockport stuck with the game plan and showed no quit, pressuring the Cortland defenders all over their end of the field. Following a yellow card issued to Poniskaitis, the Green and Gold would make a goalie substitution at the 20-minute mark, bringing in Junior Joseph Romano. Brockport's never say die attitude would pay off at the 81st minute when A.J. Sinclair scored a leaping header off a beautiful corner from Jeff Hibbard. The comeback kids hit their stride at the 88th minute when Volpe found Matthew Stefaniw inside the box for a diving header, forcing the game into overtime with the two teams tied at two goals apiece.
 
Five minutes and forty-seven seconds into the first overtime period the Red Dragons found a loose ball inside the Golden Eagles box to end the game.
 
The Green and Gold are back in action for their final game of the regular season Tuesday, Oct. 23 when they take on Houghton College on the road.
