West led the Brockport defense once again as he posted nine tackles and one sack for a loss of nine yards to help the Golden Eagles secure their third consecutive Empire 8 Championship following Saturday's 16-7 win at home against Alfred. He also posted two quarterback hurries. West now has 25 career sacks and needs just one more to tie the program-record of 26 set back in 2002. Brockport's nationally-recognized rushing defense was on display once again as it held Alfred's E8 leading rushing attack to just two rushing first downs and 17 total yards on the ground. The Saxons headed into Saturday's contest with a league-best average of 257.5 rushing yards per game.
