Women's head coach Joan Shockhow was named SUNYAC Coach of the Year for the fourth time in her brilliant career at Brockport.
The field hockey team finished in third, but lost their two conference games by a combined two goals, including a tough loss to Cortland in the final seconds.
Despite everything, though, Amanda Pickard solidified herself as the best player to play field hockey for Brockport.
Pickard rewrote the history books by breaking the school's all-time point and assist record. She also set single-season marks in goals, assists points. The senior was named SUNYAC Co-Player of the Year. She won the award herself in 2007, as well. She was also named a third-team All-American.
The volleyball team lost in the SUNYAC semifinals to New Paltz. Junior Alyssa Fitchette was named to the All-American Honorable Mention team. She was also a New York regional first-team selection.
In tennis, Brockport finished fifth in SUNYACs, and saw two members, Erin McLaughlin and Kaitlyn Broderick won their first round matchups at the New York state championships.
Kelsey Conn led the way for the women's cross country team, which finished seventh at the NCAA regionals. Conn was the only Brockport runner to make it to nationals, where she finished in 100th place.
The winter season had fairly high expectations from both the men's and women's basketball teams. The women were defending conference champions and the men returned eight seniors.
Things didn't go perfectly, but both teams caught fire at the right time and won the SUNYAC conference championsip.
The men's team took a bigger Carnegie Mellon to double-overtime, before falling 75-70 in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Senior Mychal Wilkes was named to first team all-conference and finished his career in the top 10 all-time points, assists and steals.
The women's team lost to Mount Saint Mary College 56-46 in the first round. Senior Brenlyn Campbell finished her career as the sixth all-time leading scorer at 1,178 points. Not too bad for only playing three years at Brockport.
