A Quick Look
The SUNY Oneonta men's lacrosse team assumed control in the second quarter enroute to an 11-6 victory at Brockport today to open its SUNYAC schedule.  The Red Dragons are now 6-5 overall while the Golden Eagles fell to 4-4 overall.
 
The Inside Story
The Red Dragons grabbed a slim 3-2 lead at the end of the first period.  Freshman Dean Cannon (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa), sophomore Andrew Stamatel (Glens Falls/Glens Falls) and senior Stephen Panno (Holtsville/Sachem East) each scored in the period for Oneonta.
 
Oneonta created some breathing room in the second period scoring four times while holding the Golden Eagles to just a single tally.  Four different players scored for the Red Dragons including a man up goal by sophomore Thomas McRae (Northport/Northport) with four seconds on the clock.
 
Both teams scored two goals each in the third period, as Oneonta maintained its four-goal advantage heading into the final period of play.  Sophomore Ryan MacDevitt (Sayville/Sayville) scored his seventh goal of the season while Panno scored his 32^nd of the season.
 
Brockport scored its final goal of the game 15 seconds into the fourth period to cut its deficit to 9-6.  Oneonta's defense stiffened to shut down the Golden Eagles the rest of the way while the offense connected twice for the final margin of victory.
 
Just the Stats
