BROCKPORT, N.Y. – The State University of New York at New Paltz men's soccer team's (5-5-1, 1-3-0 SUNYAC) rally fell short as they fell to The College at Brockport (4-6-0, 3-1-0 SUNYAC) in a State University of New York Athletic Conference matchup on Saturday, 5-2.

At 43:05, Jacobsen received a feed from freshman forward Dondre Irving (Elmont, N.Y./Valley Stream North) to the middle of the box and beat the goalie for his first score. He picked up his second netter at 43:51 after a perfect cross from senior defender Harrison Lane (Glenmont, N.Y./Bethlehem Central) found Jacobsen right in front of the goal.
 
Sophomore goalkeeper Steven Domino (Valatie, N.Y./Ichabod Crane) suffered his first loss of the season, allowing five goals, but stopping eight shots in the process. Casey Sullivan picked up the win, allowing two goals and making three saves in the first half.
