Football is 2-0!

Hey fans,

Just sending a quick update on Your Golden Eagles.

It looks like the football team likes drama (my talons are a little sore today too) as Brockport beat Frostburg State on Saturday 37-32. Brockport was losing and needed to put together a game winning drive late in the 4th quarter. Golden Eagle QB Jake Graci did exactly that as he found Hector Rosas in the end zone with 33 seconds left to give Brockport the lead and eventually the win.

Graci was on his "A" game as he threw for 344 yards and set a new school record with five touchdown passes. Way to go Jake!! The performance earned the senior quarterback the honor of NJAC (New Jersery Athletic Conference) Offensive Player of the Week.

So far Brockport is 2-0 on 2009 and look to go 3-0 for the first time since 2003. Next week is Homecoming at Brockport as the Golden Eagles take on Montclair State. Kickoff is at 1pm so see you all out at Special Olympics Stadium!

- Hey congrats goes out to the women's soccer team! They beat SUNY Geneseo 3-1 on Saturday. The only Knight goal was off a penalty kick. Brockport goalie Erin Asquith was a brick wall as she made a season-high 10 saves, earning SUNYAC player of the week.

-As for the men's team, they tied SUNY Farmingdale 0-0 in double overtime. It was the fourth shutout by the Golden Eagles so far this year!

To the Elite Eagles this week:


Kaitlyn Broderick is this week’s female athlete of the week.

The sophomore went 2-1 at number one doubles and 2-1 at No. 3 singles in three matches last week. In the win over Keuka, Broderick won 6-0, 6-0 in singles and was paired with Carolyn McMenemen for a close 9-7 victory at No. 1 doubles.

In the match against Fredonia, Broderick teamed with McMenemen for an 8-2 win at No. 1 doubles and then posted a 6-3, 6-2 victory at No. 3 singles.

In the loss to RIT, Broderick played a tough singles match as she dropped the first set 6-3 before forcing a tie-break in the second set 7-6 (7-2), but it wasn’t enough.

Senior quarterback Jake Graci is this week’s male athlete of the week after leading the College at Brockport Golden Eagles to a 37-32 come from behind victory over Frostburg State University.

The victory is the second consecutive game that the Golden Eagles (2-0) have come from behind in the fourth quarter and gone ahead for the victory with less than a minute to play in the contest.

With 33 seconds left in the game, Graci threw his fifth touchdown pass, setting a new school record for touchdown passes in a game. The previous record was four scoring passes set twice in 1990 and once last year.

Graci finished with a career-high 344 yards on 26-for-37 passing and completed passes to six different receivers.

*Well that's it for now, busy week for the Golden Eagles coming up. And you better believe, that I'm going to try and get as much as sleep as possible because I may lose 20 pounds cheering on our Golden Eagles on Saturday for Homecoming!!! LOL Don't forget to check back for the updates during the week.
