Re: 2/20 - Playoffs?! The return of the DMG? Ephs!? SCORES!!
Foresters get a goal on a rebound, under a minute later... 3-1

I'm pretty sure that puts Buff state at 2 and Geneseo at 3, meaning Geneseo will play Brockport on Wednesday.
If that is the case, why didn't Geneseo pull their goaltender in overtime and go for the bye? The loss wouldn't have meant anything to them...
Maybe they were thinking of the game's NCAA tourney implications....where the loss to a ranked team would have hurt them? (if they end up in Pool C consideration)
Anyone know the SUNYAC tiebreaker rules? Old Jaslow article from 2012 stated it was head-to-head, but the Geneseo parents tonight were under the impression it was fewest losses. I was curious why Geneseo didn't pull their goaltender in overtime tonight. FWIW, WIRY is sure Buffalo is the #2 seed, SUNYAC website shows Buffalo State listed second after Plattsburgh.
Anyone absolutely know for sure???

Here are the tiebreaker rules as stated in the 2011-12 SUNYAC Handbook under the Ice Hockey Team Operating Codes and Tournament Information section.
1. The best record of tied teams against each other based on Conference play (tournament play will not be considered).
2. Number of total Conference wins over ties if points are equal.
3. Goal differential against each other in Conference play.
4. Goal differential against all other Conference teams.
5. Coin flip by Commissioner.
Buff State wins the tie breaker (one, two and three)
