Men’s Lacrosse: SUNY Geneseo at Brockport, Wednesday, April 28 at 4 pm at Special Olympics Stadium – Geneseo has clinched a berth in the SUNYAC Tournament but Brockport needs a win in one of its final two games to secure a spot in the tournament. Brockport is 0-9 against the Knights since returning to the varsity level for men’s lacrosse in 2001.


Women’s Lacrosse: Buffalo State at Brockport, Friday, April 30 at 4 pm. This key SUNYAC game could decide the final seedings for the upcoming SUNYAC Tournament. Both teams have a 5-1 record and have clinched a spot but each could finish anywhere from second to fourth in the final regular season standings.
