The quarterfinal matchup will be played at 7 pm Tuesday night at Geneseo, as the Knights claimed the tournament's top seed -- by virtue of a four-way tiebreaker -- despite the loss. The playoff game will mark the fourth time the two local rivals will have met this season, with Geneseo gaining one-point victories in the Chase Tournament and the first SUNYAC matchup at Geneseo, both of which were played in January.
Brockport (11-14 overall, 7-9 SUNYAC) opened up a 12-point lead in the first half but Geneseo (17-8, 11-5) cut the lead and trailed by three points at 36-33 at halftime.
In the second half, the game stayed close and Geneseo trailed by three at 63-60 with 7:50 remaining before the Golden Eagles went on a 10-1 run to take control of the game. The Golden Eagles maintained the double-digit lead until the closing seconds of the game.
Wilkes led the team with 20 points while Jermaine Johnson (Queens Bridge, NY/Long Island City) and Ian Mack (Liverpool, NY/Liverpool) each scored 12 and Shawn Harris (Rochester, NY/Gates-Chili) added 11. Mack had six assists for the Golden Eagles.
