BROCKPORT, N.Y. — ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The SUNY Brockport men's lacrosse team hits the road this week for a critical Empire 8 clash. The Golden Eagles are set to face No. 21 Nazareth University on Wednesday, April 22, with faceoff scheduled for 4 p.m.

Previous Action

Brockport (3-12, 3-4 E8) enters Wednesday's contest riding the momentum of its most complete performance of the season—a decisive 14-4 victory over Russell Sage this past Saturday. The Golden Eagles controlled every facet of the game, outshooting the Gators 50-23 and maintaining a perfect 16-for-16 mark on clear attempts.

The Green and Gold jumped out to a commanding 12-2 lead in the first half, fueled by a hat trick from freshman Jamie DaSilva and multi-goal efforts from Brenden McClay and Patrick Donahoe. Defensively, Austin Thornhill anchored a unit that forced 26 turnovers, while Cody Whitaker dominated the faceoff X, winning 14 of 18 draws to keep the Brockport offense in a constant rhythm.

Scouting the Golden Flyers

Nazareth enters Wednesday as the No. 21 ranked team in the country on LaxNumbers and currently sits at the top of the Empire 8 standings with an undefeated conference record. The Golden Flyers are arguably the hottest team in the region, riding a nine-game winning streak that recently included a massive 12-7 upset over then-No. 7 St. John Fisher, snapping the Cardinals' 14-game streak.

Brockport will be looking to make history in this matchup. The Golden Eagles are searching for their first victory over the Golden Flyers, having dropped the last seven meetings dating back to 2018.
