Empire 8 Conference (E8)-(NCAA Division III)
Overview: The College at Brockport Golden Eagles won their third straight Empire 8 Conference (E8) championship in 2019, sharing the title with Cortland at 5-1 in E8 action en route to a 9-3 overall record, while also advancing to the NCAA Division III playoffs. Brockport knocked off Western New England in the first round before crushed by eventual national semifinalist Muhlenberg in the second round.
As for the other E8 co-champion, the Cortland Red Dragons settled for an overall record of 8-3 after falling to Brockport in a thrilling 32-26 overtime contest on November 2. The Red Dragons finished the 2019 season with back-to-back losses, as well as losing three of their last four games after a 7-0 start.
The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 caused just two teams to play only two games against each other during the spring of 2021, with Alfred squaring off against Utica in a brief "home and home" series. Utica beat Alfred 30-17 in the first meeting on March 23, only to have the Saxons return the favor in the re-match one week later, with Alfred pulling out a hard-fought 17-10 win over the Pioneers on March 30.
As for this upcoming season, the 2021 Empire 8 Conference crown could be any team's to win, with Brockport looking to make it four straight E8 titles this fall.
