First
round starts Friday at Oswego, Geneseo
FREDONIA, NY – Plattsburgh
Joining Plattsburgh and Potsdam in the tournament is Oswego, Geneseo, Fredonia
and Cortland. The opening round begins Friday and Saturday, Feb. 20-21 with
the semifinals taking place Feb. 27-28 and the finals on Mar. 5-6. All games
are slated for 7:00 p.m. on the campuses of the higher seeds. The first and
semifinal rounds will consist of a two-game format. If the teams split, a
mini-game will be played immediately following Saturday night's game to determine
the winner. In the finals, a split results in a third game to be played on
Sunday, March 7 at 2:00pm.
Oswego, the defending SUNYAC champion, earns the third seed in this year's
tournament. The Lakers, finishing 9-4-1, will host sixth-seeded Cortland in
the first round. In two meetings this season, the Lakers have got the best
of the Red Dragons winning 8-3 and 8-1. In the other first-round series, fourth-seeded
Geneseo hosts fifth-seeded Fredonia. The Knights won the first meeting this
season 4-1, but the Blue Devils exacted revenge this past Saturday with a
2-1 win that cost the Knights an opening-round bye.
