Athletes of the Week

Once again Brockport had some impressive performances throughout last week but two student-athletes really raised the bar to earn athlete of the week honors.

Freshman Elizabeth Levy (Glen Allen, VA/Hermitage) is this week’s female athlete of the week after recording a second high 38.300 on the all-around at the University of Pittsburgh quad meet against Iowa State, Rutgers and Pitt.
Levy had the highest Brockport score on the vault with a 9.60 and scored a team-best on the uneven bars with a 9.475 and was the best Golden Eagle on the floor exercise with a 9.675. She scored a 9.55 on the balance beam as Brockport set a new school record with a team score of 48.00, breaking the old mark of 47.375 set in 2004.
As a team Brockport scored a 188.350, which is the second-highest regular-season team score in school history and the fourth-best team score in school history. The 188.350 is also the highest Division III score in the country this season.

Senior Dan Brigano (Utica, NY/Utica-Proctor) is this week’s male athlete of the week after establishing a new school record for The College at Brockport Swimming and Diving teams with a score of 470.20 on the three-meter board in an 11-dive meet at the SUNY Oswego Diving Invitational.
Brigano finished second in the three-meter competition and was third in the one-meter event for the Golden Eagles. Brigano broke his own record of 426.5 in the three-meter competition as he scored over 43 points higher than the previous mark. In the one-meter event, Brigano took third with a 432.15.
Both of his scores are provisional qualifying marks for the NCAA Championships.

Honorable Mention for the week included:
Kileigh Chapman scored a school-record 9.75 to help Brockport set a new record on the beam at Pittsburgh.
James Cody scored two goals on the week including the game winner over Buffalo State.
James Forsyth defended his title at 165 pounds to help lead the Golden Eagles to the team title for the 14th straight season at the John Summa Invitational Tournament.
