CORTLAND, N.Y. – Five different players scored a goal and Megan McGuinness (Carle Place) made a career-high 11 saves as the nationally 20th-ranked Cortland field hockey team remained unbeaten on the season with a 5-1 SUNYAC win over visiting Geneseo. 
 
Kallie Green (Pennsville, NJ/Pennsville Memorial), Lily Fox (Northport), Madison Rice (Greene), Jamie Snyder (North Syracuse/Cicero-North Syracuse) and Keirra Ettere (Mahopac/Lakeland) scored goals for the Red Dragons, who improved to 8-0 overall and 2-0 in league play. Geneseo dropped to 3-4 overall and 0-1 in the conference. The Knights are the defending SUNYAC champion, having defeated Cortland, 4-3 in double overtime, in the 2019 league title game. 
 
Geneseo controlled most of the action in the first quarter, outshooting Cortland 7-0 in the period, but the Red Dragons kept the game scoreless behind six McGuinness saves along with an Alanie Genter (Saratoga Springs) defensive save. Cortland then turned the tables in the second quarter, outshooting the guests by a 10-0 margin and taking a 2-0 halftime lead. Green scored her first collegiate goal to put Cortland on top 5:11 into the period when she knocked home a rebound after an initial save of a shot by Geneseo starting goalie Sarah Quinlan. Fox scored about five minutes later when she jumped on a loose ball and took a shot that slowly trickled over the goal line. 
 
The lead grew to 3-0 just more than two minutes into the third quarter. Elizabeth Pratt (Saratoga Springs) controlled a pass in the circle and sent the ball toward the front of the goal, and Rice redirected the ball into the cage for her third goal of the season. 
 
Geneseo got on the board with 7:47 left in the third off a penalty corner play. Emma Paris took possession and sent a pass to Cassidy Sturdevant on the right side. Sturdevant took a short dribble into the circle and blasted a shot through traffic that found the cage to cut Cortland's lead to two. The Red Dragons, however, answered with less than two minutes left in the third as Snyder poked home a rebound from in close for her fifth goal of the season. Ettere closed the scoring with her team-high 10th goal of the fall on a straightaway blast from just inside the top of the circle with less than 10 minutes remaining in the contest. Ettere has registered at least one point in every game this season. 
 
Quinlan made six saves in 34:09 of action and Natalie Chojnacki had two saves over the final 25:51 for the Knights. Skylar Reed added two defensive saves, both in the second half.

Prior to the game Cortland honored its eight seniors - McGuinness, Genter, Madison Becker (Moravia), Jamie Fergus (Greene), Annie Kase (Rochester/Brighton), Abbie Mayone (Kingston), Kelsey Mulligan (Wappingers Falls/Roy C. Ketcham) and Devon DiVello (New Hyde Park).
