Box Score

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Sophomore Matt Malecki (Stevensville, Md./Kent Island) scored on a defensive extra point and senior Tyler Denike (South Boardman, Mich./Forest Area) had a career-day for the Lycoming College football team, but Brockport used four second-half scores to post a 30-2 opening-day win at Fauver Stadium.
 
Denike finished with a career-high 11 tackles, including 1.5 for loss as the linebacker was all over the field for the Warriors (0-1 overall). Malecki added six tackles to go with the defensive extra point.
 
A two-touchdown third quarter and another pair of scores in the fourth helped Brockport (1-0 overall) break away after taking only a field goal lead into halftime. The Golden Eagles scored on an eight-play, 72-yard drive on their second series of the half. Shireem Cobb got the score, leaping across from two yards out.
