INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE:
HOW IT HAPPENED
- After Buffalo State punted on its opening possession and Ben Robinson returned the punt to the Buffalo State 22 yard line, Brockport needed just two plays to capitalize on a Gino Fontanarosa nine-yard touchdown run. The extra point failed as Brockport led 6-0.
- Tom Delgado's (Bayside, NY/Bayside) pass was intercepted and returned 55 yards for a touchdown on the next Bengals' possession.
- After another interception, the Buffalo State defense held, and Noah Panepinto's 30-yard field goal was no good.
- The Golden Eagles' defense forced a second pick-six on the next drive, to take a 20-0 advantage after one quarter.
- Buffalo State got on the board on a safety on Brockport's second possession of the second quarter. Those two points were the only points of the quarter as the Golden Eagles led 20-2 at halftime.
- Brockport scored two offensive touchdowns and another pick-six in the third quarter to extend the lead to 41-2 after three quarters.
- Brockport scored again on a Louis Usera nine-yard receiving touchdown, and wrapped up the scoring with a fumble recovery and return for a touchdown.

- Fontanarosa finished the game with 115 yards on the ground and two scores.
