GENESEO, NY— C.J. Scirto (Lockport/St. Joe's) tallied a goal and an assist as visiting Buffalo State (3-4-1/0-1) rallied from a two-goal deficit, only to fall 3-2 in overtime at Geneseo (3-4-1/1-0) in today's SUNYAC opener.

The Knights ended the game in the 95th minute, however, clinching the overtime victory.
