CORTLAND, N.Y. - The Cortland women's soccer team went ahead by two thanks to goals by Julia DeTurris (Hicksville) and Cam Stone (Ilion/Central Valley Academy), and held on for a 2-1 victory over visiting Oneonta in the battle of the Red Dragons on Wednesday evening on Holloway Field. Cortland moves to 3-2-4 (1-0-1 SUNYAC) on the year, while Oneonta falls to 1-6-1 (1-1-0 SUNYAC).
 
DeTurris's goal was her second of the season, while Stone's goal was her first of the year. Katie Diem (Fairport), Simone Neivel (Baldwinsville/C.W. Baker), and Liz Allen (Monroe/Monroe-Woodbury) provided assists for Cortland, while goalkeeper Kristen Spendal (Dumont, NJ) stopped two shots in goal.
 
Oneonta's Kiera Dashnow scored a goal, while Kaiden Ring picked up an assist. Goaltender Bryanna Meehan made 10 saves in goal. 
 
Cortland controlled possession of the ball for the early part of the first half, and Meehan had to make a strong stop to deny Tyla Vuotto (Lynbrook) on an effort from outside the box. Against the run of play, Oneonta had a great chance, as Dashnow cut inside the box and fired a curling right-footed shot just inches over the top of the crossbar.
 
Cortland got on the board in the 39th minute, as Diem floated a cross on a free kick from the right side, which DeTurris was able to get her head on and flick into the top left corner of the net.
 
Cortland pressed for another goal before halftime, but DeTurris had another shot attempt stopped just three minutes before halftime as the score remained 1-0 at the break.
 
Cortland had a great opportunity in the 53rd minute, as Allen came down the left side and fired a shot towards the bottom right corner. Meehan was able to turn the initial shot aside, as well as a pair of follow-up attempts by Haley Loscalzo (East Northport/Commack).
 
Cortland got a second goal in the 68th minute to make it 2-0. Neivel's corner kick bounced around inside the box before Allen was able to knock it down to Stone, who fired a left-footed shot off the keeper and into the bottom right corner of the net.
 
Oneonta pulled to within a goal in the 79th minute, as Ring slid to intercept a pass, and Dashnow hit a shot first time into the top right corner of the net from outside the penalty area.
 
Cortland was able to control the ball for the final minutes, including displaying excellent possession near the corner flag with under five minutes remaining, to secure the win.
