Cassandra Minerd, WLAX, Defensive AOW, Brockport

Cassandra Minerd played a key role in Brockport?s historic week, picking up a pair of SUNYAC wins and securing the No. 1 seed and the right to host their first ever SUNYAC Conference Tournament. Brockport opened the week with a strong 16-11 win over No. 9/18 SUNY Cortland, a first in program history. The senior wreaked havoc on the Cortland offense, accounting for four caused turnovers and wracking up seven draw control wins. Minerd added one ground ball on the day, and played a key role in holding the Red Dragons to 2.5 goals below their season average. In the lopsided win over New Paltz, she continued her strong play, adding two caused turnovers, two ground balls and two draw controls while leading the Green and Gold defense that allowed only eight shots in the contest.
