The SUNY Brockport men's hockey team rallied from a
2-1 second period deficit to earn a key point in the SUNYAC Conference
standings as the Golden Eagles skated to a 2-2 tie against visiting
Oswego on Saturday night. The result marked the first time the Golden Eagles have tied the Lakers dating back to 2014.

Flannery's goal was his second of the year and the assist for Mainello was his first collegiate helper.
