The first-place school in each sport receives 10 points, second place receives nine points, and so on. A school’s regular-season finish is added to its postseason finish and is divided by two to determine the points for each sport. The total points earned are then divided by the number of conference sports the school sponsors.

Brockport is Starting a Pep Band
Starting with the 2010-2011 academic/athletic year, Brockport will have its own pep band play at various athletic games! Brockport is looking for gifted musicians to motivate the Golden Eagle athletes and fans. Pep bands are a rarity in DIII sports but they can be an important part of campus culture and will add to the home field/ice/court advantage for the Golden Eagles.
The coordinators of this project are looking for any musicians who are interested in participating. If you are interested, please email Adam Standish at astandis@brockport.edu.
