The Road to SUNYACs

Brockport will be sending three teams to SUNY Cortland for the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) postseason tournaments from May 6-9. The winner of each tournament will earn an automatic bid into NCAA Div. III tournament play.

On Thursday May 6, the six-team, double-elimination SUNYAC softball tournament opens with four games. Top-seeded Cortland plays sixth-seeded New Paltz at 9 a.m., followed by second-seeded Plattsburgh versus fifth-seeded Brockport at 11 a.m. and third-seeded Oneonta against fourth-seeded Geneseo at 1 p.m. The losers of the first two games play at 3 p.m. in an elimination game. The tournament will continue with four games Friday, two Saturday, and one more, if necessary, on Sunday. Brockport last won the SUNYAC title in 1997 and have won six titles in the 26-year history of the tournament.

The four-team, double-elimination baseball tournament begins Friday as second-seeded Plattsburgh plays third-seeded Brockport at noon. Cortland, the top seed, will face fourth-seeded Oneonta at 3:30 p.m. Three games are scheduled for Saturday, starting at 10 a.m., and the championship round begins Sunday at noon, with another game to follow, if needed. Brockport last won the SUNYAC title in 2004.

The four-team women’s lacrosse tournament starts Friday with top-seeded Cortland meeting fourth-seeded Geneseo at 12:30 p.m. At 3 p.m., second-seeded Brockport plays third-seeded Buffalo St. The two winners play for the title Saturday at 12 p.m. (or 1 p.m. if Cortland’s men’s lacrosse team loses on Wednesday). Brockport has never won the SUNYAC title in the 13 year history of the tournament.
