CORTLAND, N.Y. – The nationally 15th-ranked Cortland field hockey team clinched the top seed for November's four-team SUNYAC tournament with a 10-0 win over visiting Morrisville. The Red Dragons (10-1, 5-0 SUNYAC) are guaranteed no worse than a tie for first in the league with one conference game remaining, and Cortland holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over the two teams, New Paltz and Geneseo, that could finish tied with the Red Dragons.

Sidney DeMagistris (Gloversville) led Cortland with two goals and one assist. Molly Miller (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) and Mia Babino (Carle Place) each scored twice, with Babino's goals the first two of her collegiate career. 
 
Anna Healey (Holland Patent) and Maggie Cummings (Holland Patent) also registered their first collegiate goals. Sydney Reinisch (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) and Keirra Ettere (Mahopac/Lakeland) also scored goals and Ava Passante (Endwell/Maine-Endwell), Jordan DeMagistris (Gloversville) and Sophia Striemer (Hilton) notched one assist apiece. 
 
Cortland registered its fifth shutout in the last six games. Emma Morgan (Whitney Point) started and did not face any shots on goal in the first half. Sofia Cannistraci (Guilderland) played the final 30 minutes and made one save. Cortland outshot the Mustangs, 46-2, and took 24 penalty corners to two for the guests. 
 
Cortland took a 3-0 lead less than 10 minutes into the game on goals by Ettere, Reinisch and Miller, the last of which was assisted by Passante. Miller's second goal of the game, set up by Sidney DeMagistris, made it 4-0 early in the second quarter. The lead grew to 7-0 by halftime on a three-goal flurry within a three-minute window. Babino scored two of those goals, sandwiched around a Sidney DeMagistris tally. 
 
Healey scored the lone goal of the third period on a penalty stroke with less than 28 seconds remaining. The Red Dragons' fourth-quarter goals came from Cummings, off a penalty corner insert from Jordan DeMagistris, and Sidney DeMagistris off a pass from Striemer. 
 
Morrisville goalie Emmaly Noeller finished with 20 saves, and Emma Ciappa and Emma Plett each made defensive saves for the Mustangs (1-12, 0-4 SUNYAC). 
 
Cortland hosts Hartwick on Thursday at 6 p.m. in a non-league game.
