UTICA, NY - This Saturday, the #21-ranked Utica University football team will fight to earn the program's second-ever NCAA Division III Tournament appearance. With a win, the program would be a lock for this year's tournament and have the chance to achieve even more, as a win would see them heavily favored to host second-round NCAA action - which would be a first at Gaetano Stadium.
Â
The Pioneers' opponent? A talented and hungry Brockport team looking for revenge, along with a chance to work their way into the NCAA Tournament's field of 40. The Golden Eagles currently rank #40 in the official Division III Football NPI, but need to do more to move up in the at-large standings. Cortland has officially claimed the Empire 8's automatic bid, so the battle at Gaetano Stadium on Saturday will be a fight to attain at-large status, of which there are only 12 available slots. This Saturday is a fight for survival, as the two teams take center stage in one of Division III's most highlighted matchups.
Â
The Pioneers will enter Saturday's showdown with a ranking of #21 in the
D3football.com Top 25 poll, an 8-1 record, and a 5-1 mark in Empire 8 play, while Brockport arrives at Gaetano Stadium with a 7-2 record and a matching 5-1 mark in the Empire 8, only posting losses to Cortland and Hobart.

This Weekend's Game Sponsor: GPO Federal Credit Union is once again proud to sponsor this weekend's annual Veterans Day Game, which helps to promote the Sitrin Veterans Program.
Â
Sitrin's Military Program is designed to treat veterans and service members experiencing physical, emotional, and cognitive issues. The program is different from conventional veteran care, personalizing treatment options and social activities based on each individual's needs and interests. Those who have experienced traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, amputations, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and other symptoms have benefited from Sitrin's unique approach to care. Trauma-based healing empowers veterans through a combination of traditional and non-traditional therapy techniques. Established methods, such as one-on-one psychology, family counseling, and physical therapy, are paired with progressive treatments, including Ecotherapy, Equine Assisted Therapy, and Dance/Movement Therapy, among others. Additionally, the program includes the Military-Civilian Coalition (MCC), offering monthly community activities, as well as the annual Warrior Retreat at Camp Sitrin for veterans and their families.

Â
Vs Hartwick Recap: There was no air traffic allowed this past Saturday by the Pioneer defense, as Division III's #22-ranked team held the hosting Hawks to just 53 yards passing while piling up three interceptions in a 39-3 victory to keep their recent win streak moving. The orange and blue built a 10-point lead before Hartwick managed to get an offensive snap, thanks to a forced fumble and recovery on the first Pioneer kickoff of the game. The team would never look back, building a 30-3 advantage by halftime thanks to 113 yards and a score by sophomore running back
Drevariis Yeomas (Victor, NY/Victor), who posted 100 ground yards for the second straight contest. Quarterback
Tyler Szalkowski (Rochester, NY/Aquinas Institute) and senior offensive lineman
ADante Bianchino (Albany, NY/Shaker) also added rushing touchdowns (yes, you read that right), as the team broke the plane three times on the ground.
Tyshawn Taylor (Syracuse, NY/Syracuse Institute of Technology) was extremely active down the field, as the senior wideout hauled in seven passes for 169 yards, and saw each of his receptions rack up 10 yards or more, including catches of 51 and 45 yards.
Â
The defensive performance was highlighted by sophomore cornerback
Tahjir Fernand (Fort Lauderdale, FL/New Rochelle), who took home his first career Empire 8 Defensive Player of the Week honor thanks to a two-interception outing. Fernand would also add to the Pioneers' scoring success, as he returned one of his two picks 52 yards to the house, logging the team's first interception return touchdown of the campaign. With all the recent spotlight on
Nathan Hernandez (Mechanicville, NY/Mechanicville) to have a chance at Jon Klosner's single-season interception record, Fernand had quietly entered the picture, as Hernandez and Fernand now have six and five interceptions, respectively. The record is seven in a single season.
Luke Sheldon (Lake George, NY/Lake George) was the highest-volume defender on Saturday, wrapping up a team-high 12 total tackles, five of which were solo, in addition to a pass breakup and half a tackle for loss.
Isaiah Thomas (Kingston, NY/Kingston) also had a stellar day, picking up nine total tackles (three solo), a sack, half a tackle for loss, and a pass breakup that nearly became an interception. Interior stopper
Jordyn Davis (Hempstead, NY/Uniondale) was also at his usual level, grabbing four tackles, a sack, and coming one yard from another sack as he chased the opposing quarterback out of bounds at the line of scrimmage. The Pioneers held Hartwick to just 2-for-12 on third down, playing well in decisive downs for the second consecutive week. Senior kicker
Nico Duarte (Kearny, NJ/Saint Peter's Prep) added the finishing touches to a complete performance, nailing all seven of his kicks as he went 4-for-4 on PATs and 3-for-3 on field goals, hitting from distances of 22, 23, and 31.
Â
NCAA Tournament Outlook: After eleven weeks of hard-fought matchups across all of Division III, this Sunday, November 15th, the selection committee will announce the pairings for this year's NCAA Division III Football Tournament. For the Pioneers, the path to their second-ever appearance is simple - win and in. The Pioneers are currently ranked #13 in the official NPI, placing them second in the pool of potential at-large candidates. With a win, the Pioneers would hold serve and prevent themselves from falling, as they would clinch a postseason berth thanks to their stellar NPI. However, should Brockport steal a win at Gaetano Stadium, the Pioneers' future could be in jeopardy.
Â
On Brockport's end, the Golden Eagles are currently ranked #40, but will also be in search of an at-large berth since Cortland claimed the Empire 8's automatic qualifier. For Brockport, they need to make up ground and climb back into the conversation. With a loss, they will be eliminated, so they'll head to Utica with plenty to play for. Here are the current at-large qualifiers if the season were to end today:
Â
- #11 Wisconsin-Platteville
- #13 Utica University
- #15 North Central
- #18 Concordia Wisconsin
- #19 Merchant Marine
- #22 DePauw
- #25 Franklin & Marshall
- #26 Hope
- #27 Mary Hardin-Baylor
- #32 Amherst
- #33 Bethel
- #34 Heidelberg
Â
Brockport resides just outside the postseason picture; meanwhile, the Pioneers are in prime position to not only make the NCAA Tournament, but enter as one of the highest-ranked teams in the field. Should the team remain inside the top 16, there is a very strong chance that the Pioneers could host their first-ever home NCAA Tournament game, getting a bye to the second round (round of 32) and welcoming a team to the Mohawk Valley for postseason play. A Pioneer home game hinges on victory this weekend, so the team will be fighting not only to secure their playoff ticket, but also for the chance to hold another Party at The Gaet'.
Â
A reason for the Pioneers' high ranking is their strong body of work, as the team has posted great results in nearly every matchup, including a trio of non-conference wins against PAC Champion Washington and Jefferson, Liberty League Champion RPI, and a strong Hobart team. The Pioneers' pair of wins against conference champions has been a major reason behind their rise to the top, and it showcases the gauntlet of Division III Football, as matchups in week one and week two can eventually decide your fate down the road.
Â
Here is a look at the Pioneers' wins so far this season, along with the rankings of their upcoming opponents:
Â
#21 Washington & Jefferson - W, 26-11
#45 RPI - W, 38-14
#78 Hobart - W, 36-29
#80 St. John Fisher - W, 35-14
#91 Alfred State - W, 58-13
#165 Alfred University - W, 35-0
#190 Hartwick - W, 39-3
#209 Morrisville State - W, 33-7
Â
#2 Cortland State - L, 31-21
Â
For reference, there are 242 Division III teams represented in the NPI
Â
Upcoming opponents:
Vs #40 SUNY Brockport (7-2)
Â
Poll Position: The Pioneers experienced a slight jump in the
D3football.com and AFCA Top 25 polls, achieving a season-high ranking in the D3football.com poll as the team moved to #21. In the AFCA Division III Coaches poll, the team jumped up to #22, falling just one spot short of tying their highest ranking this season. The Pioneers' highest-ever D3football.com Top 25 poll ranking came in the final poll of the 2022 season as the Pioneers pulled in the #20 ranking; meanwhile, the team's highest ranking in the AFCA poll was their #21 selection from earlier this season. With a win and some upset results during the final week of the regular season, the Pioneers might have a chance to achieve their program-record rankings in each poll heading into the postseason.

Orange and Blue Archive - Brockport: The Pioneers and Golden Eagles first met on September 21, 2002, during Utica's second season of varsity football, with Brockport earning a 35-0 victory in the inaugural meeting. Brockport controlled much of the early series and currently holds a 9-4 advantage in the all-time matchup. This rivalry has been extremely exciting in recent times, with the two programs splitting the last four matchups. The Pioneers enter this weekend looking to build on last season's comeback victory and earn consecutive wins over Brockport for the first time since winning back-to-back matchups in 2014 and 2015.
Last season, Utica delivered a dramatic comeback on the road, overcoming a 20-7 deficit to defeat Brockport 28-20 on November 15, 2025. The Pioneers entered the fourth quarter trailing 20-13 before
Tyler Szalkowski (Rochester, NY/Aquinas Institute) connected with
Bryce Palmer (Verona, NY/Vernon-Verona-Sherrill) on a 15-yard touchdown pass to pull Utica within one. After Brockport blocked the extra point,
Nico Duarte (Kearny, NJ/Saint Peter's Prep) gave the Pioneers a 22-20 lead with a 21-yard field goal with just 42 seconds remaining. Brockport attempted to respond, but
Eli Douglas (Ausable Forks, NY/Ausable Valley) sealed the victory with a 78-yard interception return for a touchdown as time expired. Szalkowski completed 27 of 48 passes for 318 yards and three touchdowns, with Palmer leading the receiving corps with 145 yards.
Logan Frederick (Little Falls, NY/Little Falls) also made a major impact with 10 catches for 88 yards. Utica finished with 371 total yards, including 318 through the air, and held Brockport to 330 yards of offense in the comeback win.
The 2024 meeting saw Brockport earn a 20-10 victory at ABM Field on November 2. Utica opened the scoring with a first-quarter touchdown to take a 7-0 lead, notching the first points scored against Brockport's defense in over a month, but the Golden Eagles responded with 10 points in the second quarter and added a field goal in the third to take control. Brockport extended its lead with a fourth-quarter touchdown, while the Pioneers were unable to find the end zone again after their opening score.
The 2022 meeting saw Utica earn a 35-21 victory over Brockport at Gaetano Stadium on October 15, extending the Pioneers' historic start to a perfect 6-0 record. Current Offensive Coordinator
Braeden Zenelovic led the offensive attack, completing 20 of 26 passes for 324 yards and four touchdowns while adding a rushing score.
Nate Palmer was his top target, hauling in three touchdown receptions for 103 yards, including scoring catches of 25, 39 and 17 yards. Brockport rallied from a 21-7 halftime deficit to tie the game at 21-21 early in the fourth quarter, but Zenelovic answered with an eight-yard touchdown run to put Utica back in front. The Pioneers then sealed the victory when Zenelovic connected with
Joey Nare for a 39-yard touchdown with just over three minutes remaining. Utica outgained Brockport 427-294, recorded 22 first downs and converted seven of 13 third-down opportunities to secure the 35-21 win.
Scouting Brockport: Brockport enters Saturday's matchup at 7-2 overall and 5-1 in Empire 8 play after falling to nationally ranked Cortland 42-24 on November 7. The Golden Eagles opened the season with a 68-0 victory over Buffalo State before dropping a 27-14 decision at Hobart. They responded with five consecutive victories, including wins over Rensselaer, Hartwick, St. John Fisher, Alfred State, SUNY Morrisville and Alfred, before Cortland handed them their second loss of the season. Brockport has been one of the Empire 8's most productive offensive teams, averaging more than 37 points per game, and will look to rebound against the Pioneers in its regular-season finale.
- Offense
- QB Zymier Jackson: 102 completions on 180 attempts, 1,377 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, four interceptions, 56.7% completion rate. Also has 249 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.
- RB Derrion Battle: 107 carries, 727 rushing yards, seven touchdowns, 6.8 yards per carry. Also has 11 receptions for 137 yards and two touchdowns.
- RB Allan Paul: 92 carries, 479 rushing yards, six touchdowns, 5.2 yards per carry.
- WR Nolan Slywka: 54 receptions, 745 receiving yards, nine touchdowns, 13.8 yards per catch.
- WR Anthony Diaz: 23 receptions, 261 receiving yards, two touchdowns, 11.4 yards per catch.
- DB/WR Kyle Slywka: Eight receptions, 214 receiving yards, two touchdowns, 26.8 yards per catch.
- Defense
- LB Nazhier Wilson: 65 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, four sacks, two forced fumbles.
- DB Austyn Gollnitz: 53 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, six sacks, three interceptions, three forced fumbles.
- DB Darius Cervi: 46 tackles, seven tackles for loss, one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery.
- DL Ari Gefell: 39 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, one fumble recovery.
- LB Brady Winter: 45 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one fumble recovery.
What to Watch For: Brockport enters Saturday averaging 37.1 points and 415.2 yards of total offense per game while allowing 15.0 points and 207.0 yards per contest. The Golden Eagles have established a balanced offensive attack, averaging 206.4 rushing yards and 208.8 passing yards per game. Jackson has been the primary quarterback, taking over for longtime starter Ben Gocella early in the year and leading Brockport's shift to a more run-based mentality, completing 56.7% of his passes for 1,377 yards and 15 touchdowns while adding another 249 yards and four scores on the ground. Battle leads the backfield with 727 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, while Paul has added 479 yards and six scores. The two backs give Brockport a strong one-two punch.
Brockport's passing game is led by Jackson and wide receiver Nolan Slywka, who has emerged as the team's top receiving threat with 54 catches for 745 yards and nine touchdowns. Anthony Diaz has added 261 receiving yards and two scores, while listed defensive back Kyle Slywka is averaging an impressive 26.8 yards per catch and has two touchdown receptions. The Golden Eagles have scored 18 passing touchdowns and 23 rushing touchdowns through nine games, making them a difficult offense to defend when they are able to stay balanced. Utica's defense will look to continue its strong season, as the Pioneers have allowed just 152.7 passing yards per game and have recorded 17 interceptions, tied among the nation's top totals entering the weekend.
Defensively, Brockport has been particularly effective at creating pressure and disrupting opposing offenses, recording 23 sacks and 60 tackles for loss through nine games. Wilson leads the team with 65 tackles and 15 tackles for loss, while Gollnitz has been a major difference-maker with six sacks, three interceptions and three forced fumbles. Gefell has added 5.5 sacks, and Cervi has contributed 46 tackles. The Golden Eagles have limited opponents to just 79.0 rushing yards per game. The Pioneers will need to find ways to establish their running game while continuing to take advantage of their passing attack, led by Szalkowski's 2,674 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Keys Against Brockport
1: Win the Turnover Battle: In Brockport's loss against Hobart, the Golden Eagles posted six offensive turnovers, but managed to stay in the matchup until the very end thanks to their stingy defense. Against Cortland, the Golden Eagles managed to intercept quarterback Mike Rescigno, setting up their offense with an easy touchdown that allowed them to hold a lead for the majority of the first half. For the Pioneers, they will look to generate turnovers at a high rate, while avoiding miscues on their end. The Brockport defense has shown it can hold up well even when given a short field, while the Golden Eagle offense hops on short-field opportunities. The Pioneers will need to dominate the turnover battle this weekend.
Â
2: Wear Down the Brockport Defense: The Pioneers rank eighth in all of Division III for Time of Possession, holding the ball for just over 34 minutes per contest. The Golden Eagles are sturdy on the defensive side of the ball and can handle guarding the opposing team for long periods of time, but the Pioneers will have to wear down the Golden Eagles gradually, as they did in their matchups against St. John Fisher and Washington and Jefferson. Additionally, holding the ball on offense will keep it out of the hands of the Golden Eagles' offense.
Â
3: Play Smart on Defense: This iteration of the Brockport offense has a ton of balance and brings lots of options to the table. Their strength is their versatility, which will keep the orange and blue defense on its toes this weekend. The Pioneer defense will need a complete performance, as they've alternated between stopping the run and stopping the pass over the past few weeks. This Saturday, all eleven Pioneer defenders will have to be alert and make the correct decisions in clutch time.
Â
After Saturday's Senior Day Showdown vs Brockport: The Pioneers will await their fate during Sunday's NCAA Division III Football Tournament Selection Show. The show will begin at 5:00 PM on Sunday, November 15th, and will take place on the NCAA website. For more information about the NCAA Tournament and selection show, head to this link:
