ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Three Cortland players scored goals, including tournament Most Outstanding Player Bridgette DeSantis (Schenectady/Mohonasen), as the Red Dragons blanked Ramapo College of New Jersey, 3-0, in the championship game of the RIT Rachel Miller Invitational. Cortland improved to 3-0 with the victory, while the Roadrunners suffered their first loss in three outings.

Cortland controlled play for most of the contest, outshooting Ramapo 15-1 in the first half and 24-5 for the game. Junior Pam Monnier (East Northport/Northport) made two saves in 82:30 and junior Dayna Moneta (Franklin Square/Valley Stream North) did not have to make any saves over the final 7:30 as they combined for the shutout. Jessica DaRold made six saves in 85:05 of action for Ramapo.

Freshman midfielder Taylor Teal (Bethlehem) opened the scoring with her first collegiate goal 14:20 into the game. A Cortland indirect kick bounced off a Ramapo defender to the front of the net and Teal knocked in the loose ball for the only score of the half.

DeSantis netted her fourth goal of the season 12:58 into the second half when her shot from the left side caromed off the post and went in. Freshman forward Kiersten Jacobsen (Plainedge) tallied her first collegiate goal with 8:46 remaining as she slid in and knocked in a close-range shot off an assist from freshman defender Morgan Osborne (Homer).

Senior defender Ashley Mewhorter (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) and junior defender Maura Martin (Chili/Gates-Chili) joined DeSantis on the all-tournament team. Martin scored a goal and Mewhorter recorded an assist in Cortland's 5-1 win over John Carroll in Saturday's opening round. DeSantis scored twice versus John Carroll and has scored at least once in each of Cortland's first three games.

RIT and John Carroll played to a 2-2 draw in Sunday's third-place match.
