Brockport is rocking.
The undefeated Golden Eagles have a program-record 12 wins and are in the NCAA quarterfinals for the second time in program history. They want to keep making history Saturday when they visit Delaware Valley.
“It’s been amazing. It’s been a special run. We really don’t want it to stop,” Brockport sophomore quarterback Joe Germinerio said. “We just have that self-confidence. Week in and week out, we approach everything the same way. We try to lock in and compete every day in practice. We go in every day with a positive mindset. All these guys want to be coached and get better every day. Then, we just lay that all on the line on Saturdays.”
That’s been a successful cycle for Brockport. But a lot goes into the team’s recipe as it keeps piling up wins. Making it to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2003 hasn’t altered the team’s approach, either.
“I think our team has done a really good job of refocusing. It’s always great to celebrate a win for a couple days,” Brockport senior linebacker Matt Szymanski said. “Everyone has done a good job coming into the new week on Monday with a whole new mindset of just trying to get the next one.”
