BROCKPORT, N.Y. - Senior Eric Hajnos (Grand Island) caught 12 passes for 220 yards and three touchdowns, junior Dom Sair (Huntington) rushed for 155 yards and four touchdowns and graduate student Alex Smith (Niagara Falls/Niagara-Wheatfield) completed 22-of-33 passes for 324 yards and four scores as Cortland defeated host Brockport, 56-42, in a New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) contest.

Cortland completes its NJAC schedule with a 7-2 record and is also 7-2 overall. Brockport drops to 3-6 overall and 2-6 in the league. Cortland wraps up the regular season with the non-league Cortaca Jug game at Ithaca next Saturday at noon.

The combined 98 points scored by Cortland and Brockport is a new Cortland school record, eclipsing the previous mark of 96 points set during a 62-34 loss at Springfield in 1998.

Hajnos tied a school single-game record with his three touchdown catches. Five players previously set the mark, including Hajnos versus Western Connecticut State in 2007. Hajnos is the fourth player in school history to record more than 200 receiving yards in a game. His 220 yards are the most by a Red Dragon since Frank Burm recorded a school-record 267 yards vs. the University at Buffalo in 1982. In addition, his 12 catches are tied for the fourth-best total at Cortland.

Smith's 324 passing yards are his career high, and his four touchdown passes is one shy of the school record that he holds a share of. Sair scored four touchdowns in a game for the second time this season - the previous occurrence was at Buffalo State in early October.

Cortland and Brockport combined for 1,014 yards of total offense - 522 for Cortland and 492 for Brockport. Sophomore Cody Allen (Medina) led Cortland with 18 tackles, nine solo, and recorded two of the Red Dragons' seven sacks. Junior Will Schroeder (Rockville Centre/Holy Trinity) finished with 15 tackles, an interception, a sack and a pass breakup and junior Bobby Somerville (East Greenbush/Columbia) had 10 tackles and two pass breakups. Senior Evan Wyler (Warwick/Warwick Valley) registered two sacks and a pass breakup.

Jake Graci completed 21-of-42 passes for 305 yards and three touchdowns for Brockport. Joseph Scibilia was 4-of-11 off the bench for 41 yards and one score. Matt Newman, Hector Rosas and Felipe Diaz caught six passes each and Aaron Zurn rushed for 74 yards on 18 carries.

Cortland led 21-7 after the first quarter, but the Golden Eagles outscored the Red Dragons 28-7 in the second quarter and led 35-28 at halftime. Cortland, however, scored four straight touchdowns in the second half and kept Brockport off the scoreboard in the half until the final three minutes.

Hajnos caught an 80-yard touchdown pass on Cortland's first play from scrimmage. Graci threw a 29-yard TD pass to Zurn midway through the quarter, but Cortland came back with a 29-yard TD pass from Smith to junior Anthony Giuliano (Thornwood/Westlake) with 5:59 left in the quarter and added a Sair 1-yard TD run with 1:38 left.

Zurn's 1-yard TD run with 13:23 left in the second quarter capped a 53-yard scoring drive, but Cortland marched 40 yards in four plays, following a Joe Aston (Chenango Forks) 40-yard kickoff return, and scored on Sair's 10-yard run with 11:32 left. Graci, however, threw a 26-yard TD pass to Newman on 4th-and-16 with 7:28 left, then ran for an 8-yard TD with 2:14 left to tie the game at 28-28. Cortland turned the ball over on downs, and Brockport drove 67 yards on eight plays, capped by Tamere Shannon's 11-yard TD reception from Graci with eight seconds left, to give the Golden Eagles the lead at halftime.

Cortland's defense held on Brockport's first drive of the second half, and the Red Dragons scored three plays later when Sair broke loose for a 51-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 35-35. A Brockport personal foul on Cortland's next punt return set up the Red Dragons on the Brockport 39-yard line and five plays later Smith hit Hajnos from 24 yards out to give Cortland a 42-35 lead.

Cortland extended its lead to 49-35 late in the third quarter on a 5-yard Smith to Hajnos pass that completed a 10-play, 60-yard drive. With 5:24 left in the fourth, Sair ran 44 yards to the Brockport 1-yard line on the first play of a drive, then scored from one yard out on the next snap. Sophomore Marc Corrado's (Newburgh/Newburgh Free Academy) eighth extra-point kick gave Cortland a 56-35 advantage.

Brockport made a final push when it drove 48 yards on 10 plays, culminating in a 4-yard TD pass from Scibilia to Rosas with 2:48 left. The Golden Eagles then recovered the ensuing onside kickoff and drove to Cortland's 22-yard line, but Allen recorded sacks of seven and 10 yards on the next two plays, respectively, to help close out the contest.

Nathan Bull led Brockport with 13 tackles and Derek Austin recorded an interception for the Golden Eagles.
