BROCKPORT, N.Y.—The 16th-ranked Brockport Golden Eagles (7-3, 1-2 SUNYAC) used a big first half to defeat the SUNY Potsdam Women's lacrosse team (3-5, 0-2) 19-11 on Saturday afternoon. Junior attack Bailey Weigel (East Amherst, N.Y./Williamsville East) matched her career-high seven points on three goals and four assists. Sophomore attack Bri McClusky (Watertown, N.Y./Immaculate Heart) had three goals and an assist and freshman attack Katie Lapinski (Canton, N.Y./Hugh C. Williams) chipped in two goals for the Bears.
Trailing 2-0 at the 19:43 mark of the first half, Weigel got Potsdam on the board with an unassisted tally. Brockport answered with two more before sophomore midfielder Brittany Blake (South Glens Falls, N.Y./South Glens Falls) scored to cut the gap to 4-2. The Golden Eagles scored eight of the next nine goals. McClusky scored on a helper from sophomore midfielder Lizzie Marchbanks (Liverpool, N.Y./Liverpool) at 5:34 and again to close the half with just 15 seconds left. Weigel assisted on the play and the Bears trailed 12-4 at the break.
Potsdam fought Brockport goal-for-goal in the second half. The Bears opened the period with a 6-3 stretch. Weigel got her second goal at 24:53 with an assist from McClusky. Then Weigel set up McClusky at 21:10 and Lapinski at 19:59 to close to within 14-7. After another Golden Eagle goal, Lapinski scored from Weigel at 16:56. Weigel then scored on a helper from Marchbanks nearly seven minutes later. At 8:08, senior attack Michelle Varney (Canton, N.Y./Hugh C. Williams) finished the 3-0 run and the Bears trailed just 15-10. However, Brockport sealed the game with a 4-1 finish for the 19-11 final. Junior captain Katie Putnam (Chittenango, N.Y./Chittenango) netted the final Potsdam marker with just 1:09 remaining.
In goal, senior captain Jen Chmiel (Rochester, N.Y./Eastridge) finished with 10 saves, while Brockport's Remle Harr got the win with just four stops.
