Last Time Out: The Golden Eagles went 2-0 the past week, defeating Elmira 10-0 in dominant fashion before grinding out a 1-0 SUNYAC win at home against Oswego State. Five different Golden Eagles recorded a goal in a well-rounded performance against Elmira, with the Golden Eagles outshooting the Soaring Eagles 32-to-3 (23-to-2 SOG). Bailey Lazore finished with seven points and a hat trick in the contest, with Ella Buchanan and Katelynn Banning making a save each in a shutout effort. Paige Thowe and Quinn Guy both contributed five points each in the blowout win.

Against Oswego, the Golden Eagles' defense ensured Emmalee Moore's seventh goal of the season would be more than enough for the victory. Ella Buchanan turned in possibly her best performance of the season, securing her third full 60-minute shutout making seven saves. Brockport improved to 10-4 overall and 2-2 in SUNYAC play following last week's action.

Athlete of the Week: Ella Buchanan was named the SUNYAC Field Hockey Defensive Athlete of the Week on Monday. She came up with eight saves for the Golden Eagles across back-to-back shutouts in net. This is the second time Buchanan has earned this honor this year.
 
New Standard: Following the 1-0 win against Oswego, the Green and Gold secured the program's first 10-win season since 2011. Brockport's 10-win season also marks the first for Head Coach Krista Archambeau, as she continues to elevate the Brockport Field Hockey program to new heights.

She's On Fire: In addition to the Golden Eagles' 3-game win streak, junior Emmalee Moore has been riding her own hot streak as of late. Moore has recorded a point or better in each of her last four games, accumulating four goals and an assist (9 points) across those four games. With three shots each against Elmira and Oswego, Moore has also recorded multiple shots in all 14 games on the year.
