ALFRED, N.Y. – Russell Sage College earned a point with this afternoon's 1-1 Empire 8 Conference tie at Alfred.

Forward/midfielder John Locicero (Wallkill, NY/Wallkill), a graduate student, scored the RSC goal on a penalty kick in the 16th minute, while senior goalkeeper Tyler Brennan (Albany, NY/Shaker) (2-5-4) registered seven saves.
