BROCKPORT, N.Y. – Karlee Weeden (Maybrook/Valley Central) threw a three-hit shutout in the opener and Cortland combined for 28 hits over two games as the Red Dragons swept host Brockport, 11-0 and 14-4, in SUNYAC softball action. Both games were called after five innings due to the eight-run rule. 
 
Cortland (15-11, 6-4 SUNYAC) will travel to Geneseo Saturday for a league doubleheader that has been moved up to a 9 a.m. start due to the weather forecast. Cortland and Geneseo have played in the last three SUNYAC tournament finals, with Cortland winning in 2019 and Geneseo victorious in 2021 and 2022.
