Senior Joe Gomez (Amherst, NY/Amherst) scored three goals, including two in the fourth quarter, as The College at Brockport Men's Lacrosse team came from behind to defeat SUNY Potsdam by a score of 8-6 Saturday afternoon in a State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) game in Potsdam. The win was the first over the Bears since reinstating the program to the varsity level in 2001.

Brockport (5-5 overall, 3-2 SUNYAC) took an early lead when Gomez netted his first goal of the game with 1:33 left in the opening quarter. Over the next 15 seconds, Potsdam (4-7, 1-4) scored twice to take a 2-1 lead into the second quarter.

The Bears scored twice in the second stanza and led 4-2 at the halftime intermission and took a 5-2 lead three minutes into the second half. Brian Loeffler (Islip, NY/Islip) started the comeback with the first of his two goals 27 seconds later to propel the Golden Eagles on a six-goal rally. Loeffler and Gomez each scored twice in the run along with single goals from Mike Sanderson (Canton, NY/HC Williams) and Matt Andon-McLane (Syracuse, NY/Nottingham) to give Brockport an 8-5 lead.

A late goal by Potsdam made it an 8-6 final score.

Mike Tammaro (Painted Post, NY/Corning West) scored a goal and had an assist for Brockport and Andon-McLane added an assist along with Jeremy DeJohn (Jordan, NY/Jordan-Elbridge).

Garret Allwes (Amherst, NY/Amherst) made seven saves for the Golden Eagles.
