Goalkeeper Jordan Ott defends the Cortland net with a leaping effort in a 1-1 tie versus Brockport on Oct. 14. The nationally ranked Red Dragons, who clinched the top seed in the upcoming State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) playoffs, earned the draw despite being down a player over the final 72 minutes, 14 seconds. Cortland hosts a conference semifinal game on Wednesday, Nov. 1. The Red Dragons also have secured the number-one seeds for the SUNYAC tournaments in field hockey and women’s soccer and the volleyball team currently holds first place with an unbeaten conference record. Darl Zehr Photography
