After suffering back-to-back losses, the Bengals looked to bounce back in the win column as they hosted the SUNY Brockport Golden Eagles in a nonconference matchup.
In the first half, play started slow, and both teams were fighting to find their footing in the rainy conditions. Some early chances by the Bengals kept the Golden Eagles on their heels defensively, but an offensive counterattack put the Golden Eagles on the board first in the 27th minute. With the Bengals down a goal, they felt the momentum shift the Golden Eagles' way, who found the back of the net again in the 34th minute, taking a two-goal advantage over the Bengals. A late chance by the Bengals fell short as they looked to find an answer heading into the halftime break.
In the second half, the Golden Eagles kept their momentum, netting a third goal in the 46th minute as the Bengals fell behind by three. This led to an uptick in Bengals offensive pressure, keeping the ball in the Golden Eagles' defensive zone as much as possible. With time ticking away, the Bengals got on the scoreboard with an 82nd-minute goal to bring their deficit down to two goals. However, time was not on the Bengals' side, and the final whistle came with the Bengals falling short against the Golden Eagles.
The Bengals were outshot by the Golden Eagles, 15 to seven, with nine shots on goal for the Golden Eagles and four for the Bengals.
