SUNYAC MEN’S LACROSSE PLAYOFFS SET FOR WEDNESDAY
Cortland, Geneseo host semifinal games
FREDONIA, NY - Cortland, Geneseo, Oneonta and Potsdam return
to compete in the 2004 State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC)
men's lacrosse playoffs this Wednesday, May 5. The same four teams participated
in last year's playoffs, with Cortland emerging as the champions. The Red
Dragons have won four straight titles since men's lacrosse was reinstated
as a conference sport in 2000.
In the first game of the day, third-seeded Oneonta travels to Geneseo for
a 4:00 p.m. start. The Red Dragons and Knights played in their only meeting
of the season two days ago with Geneseo coming out on top 8-5. Last year,
in the semifinals, Oneonta was bounced from the playoffs by the Knights by
the score of 15-8. In the other semifinal, top-seeded Cortland hosts fourth-seeded
Potsdam at 7:00 p.m. The Red Dragons handled the Bears earlier in the year
13-5 and knocked them from the playoffs in 2003 with a 15-9 win.
The highest remaining seed after the semifinals will host the championship
game on Saturday, May 8 at 1 p.m. The winner will receive an automatic berth
into the NCAA Division III Tournament.
