The program is closer to going to the next level than most people realize. Consider how well they've played nationally-ranked teams since beating Elmira in OT last December:
4-3 win against Elmira
2-3 loss to Neumann
5-7 loss to Neumann (the 7th goal was an empty netter)
4-6 loss to Oswego
4-2 win against Plattsburgh
2-0 loss to Oswego
2-2 tie with Hobart
NONE of those are blowout wins that are typical to the elite teams. Brockport kept the games close and won or tied 3 of the 7 games. Of the 4 losses, the differences were 2 goals or less.
We're talking about a Golden Eagle team that continues to give the very best teams in the country a run for their money...a team that is shaping up to be -- and very well may be -- one of the very best teams in the country.
