OSWEGO, NY – The SUNY Brockport women's lacrosse team (4-3) extended its winning streak to three games and moved above the .500 mark on Wednesday afternoon with a gritty 10-8 road victory over Oswego State. The Golden Eagles used a balanced offensive attack and a strong fourth-quarter surge to secure the road victory.

How It Happened

Brockport jumped out to a fast start, outscoring the Lakers 4-3 in the opening frame. However, Oswego responded in the second period, holding the Golden Eagles to two goals while netting four of their own to take a 7-6 lead into the halftime break.

Brockport's offense exploded for four goals while the defensive unit held Oswego to just one tally in the final frame to seal the comeback victory. The win was bolstered by a critical draw control advantage, with the Golden Eagles winning 12 of 21 draws throughout the contest.
