Graci threw for 263 yards and completed touchdown passes to four different wide receivers to lead the football team to a 59-28 victory over SUNY Morrisville Saturday in a New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) game. The win snapped a five-game losing streak.

Graci moved into third place on the all-time Brockport list for passing yards in a season and is just shy of 2,000 passing yards with 1,961 so far this season.
