CORTLAND, N.Y. - Migell Ormsby (Kingston, Jamaica/DeWitt Clinton (NY)) scored twice and Miguel Tunas (North Salem) assisted on Cortland's first two goals as the nationally 15th-ranked Red Dragons shut out Mt. St. Mary College, 3-0, in the opening round of the NCAA Division III tournament.
Cortland (16-3) will play either Middlebury or Stevens Institute in the NCAA second round in Cortland 1 p.m. Sunday. Mt. St. Mary finishes the season 12-8; the Knights were making their second-ever NCAA appearance.
Ormsby headed in a corner kick from Tunas in the 10th minute to give Cortland an early lead.

Cortland closed the scoring in the 78th minute when Ormsby spun and drilled a shot from almost 20 yards out inside the left post. Ormsby leads the Red Dragons with 11 goals this fall.
