The College at Brockport volleyball team is set to travel to Geneseo Friday afternoon for the semifinal round of the SUNYAC playoffs, where they will take on the Red Dragons from Cortland.
 
Regional Recognition: After securing themselves a bye in the first round, the Golden Eagles hosted their final home tournament of the year, picking up three more wins while also topping two regionally ranked teams.

Mastro Posts Career High: Mastro has been an offensive powerhouse for the Golden Eagles this season and last Friday was a perfect example of the strength she brings to the front line. Mastro posted a career-high 22 kills against Clarkson Friday night, accounting for close to half of the team's total kills. The junior also provided two aces and 12 digs, leading the Golden Eagles to a four-set win over the top regionally ranked Golden Knights. Mastro currently leads the team in points (326.5), kills (252), and hitting percentage (.296).
