BROCKPORT, N.Y. – The College at Brockport field hockey team gave the highly competitive University of Rochester YellowJackets a run for their money Tuesday night, falling in a hard fought 6-3 matchup. The Golden Eagles record moves to 7-5 overall, with Morrisville ahead on the weekend.
 
The YellowJackets offense came out quick from the start, holding a hefty 3-0 lead at the half, while producing 13 of their 27 total offensive opportunities. Despite being outshot and at a deficit, the Golden Eagles came back swinging in the second half.
 
Bailey Lazore was the first to open up the scoring for the Green and Gold, sneaking a goal in the top right corner of the net off of a strong feed in from Renee Lauer. The YellowJackets answered back with two more goals to improve their lead to 4-1 but once again the Golden Eagles weren't going down without a fight. Katelynn Mello provided the Golden Eagles second goal of the game unassisted, on a breakaway matchup with two defenders and the YellowJackets goalie. Exactly three minutes later, Lauer continued the trend with goal number three, closing the gap to 5-3 on an assist from Emily Hall.
 
Goalie Cara Fox recorded 15 saves on the night while facing 12 YellowJackets penalty corners.
