Brown and Chiesa Selected SUNYAC Athletes of the Week
Brockport junior Sarah Brown and Fredonia junior Casey Chiesa have been named The State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Lacrosse Player and Goalie of the Week.
Brown posted back-to-back nine point performances as the Brockport women's lacrosse team improved to 4-1 in the SUNYAC and 8-2 overall. The Golden Eagles are the top scoring team in the SUNYAC. Brown put up a career-high nine points against Geneseo in a 23-12 victory. The junior netted two goals and had seven assists, the second-most in school history. Brown came right back in the team's next game against Oswego State to net four goals and dish out five assists. With the nine points against the Lakers, Brown moved into fifth place all-time on the Brockport career scoring list with 171 points.
Chiesa earned her second straight SUNYAC Goalie of the Week honors after leading the Blue Devils to a 2-0 week with 24 combined saves and a .533 save percentage. Last Tuesday, Chisea stopped 12 shots in the 15-11 win over Buffalo State. She also made 12 saves on Saturday, nine in the second half, and collected three groundballs in the 19-10 win over Potsdam. The Blue Devils remain unbeaten in the SUNYAC and set a school record for consecutive wins with eight.
