BROCKPORT, NY – Coming off an electric comeback victory, the SUNY Brockport women's lacrosse team (2-3) returns to A. Huntley Parker Jr. Field this Saturday, March 14th. The Golden Eagles will host Oneonta with a 12 p.m draw control, but the significance of the day extends far beyond the scoreboard.

Saturday's contest serves as the Morgan's Message Game for Mental Health. This initiative is dedicated to subverting the stigma surrounding mental health within the student-athlete community, honoring the legacy of Morgan Rodgers by fostering a culture of support and open dialogue.

Last Time Out

The Golden Eagles proved they are never out of a fight this past Wednesday, stunning Union College with a 9-8 comeback win. After trailing 6-1 at the half and 7-2 in the third quarter, Brockport ignited a furious fourth-quarter rally.

Freshman Alivia Cross was the hero of the afternoon, assisting on the equalizer by Emily Schiffer before firing home the game-winning goal with just 10 seconds remaining on the clock. Karaline McCarthy and Journey Naab each netted two goals to keep the Green and Gold within striking distance, while Arianna Reed anchored the defense with a stellar 12-save performance to secure the win.

Scouting the Red Dragons

Oneonta enters Saturday's matchup with a 3-1 record. After dropping their season opener, the Red Dragons have surged to three consecutive victories, most recently handling Fredonia in an 11-4 win to begin their conference slate.

Despite Oneonta's recent hot streak, the historical advantage lies heavily with the Green and Gold. Brockport has dominated the series with a 19-4 all-time record, including 11 straight victories over the Red Dragons. Oneonta will be looking to snap a decade-long drought, as their last win against the Golden Eagles dates back to 2014. 

Up Next: Following Saturday's home game, the Golden Eagles will hit the road to face Oswego State on Wednesday, March 18th at 4 p.m.
