St. Lawrence University Athletics

The St. Lawrence University field hockey team fell 5-0 to SUNY Cortland on Wednesday evening in a non-conference game on North Country Field at Hall-Leet Stadium.
 
Despite the result, the game was even in shots, with the Saints recording 17 and the Red Dragons recording 16. Cortland bested St. Lawrence with a 14-11 advantage in shots on goal. 
 
First-year Mckenzie Haberl, the team's leading scorer, led the Saints with five shots on goal. Junior Isabel Thompson recorded three, sophomore Maggie Green recorded two, and junior Jackie Reiss finished with one.
 
Molly Quinlan put Cortland up for good at the 11:20 mark of the first quarter. Hannah Berchell extended the lead to 2-0 in the final minutes of the first half. Quinlan and Burchell led the Red Dragons with two goals each. The final three goals were recorded in the third quarter. 

 

Though they kept Cortland off the board in the fourth quarter, the Saints were unable to find the back of the goal themselves, and the Red Dragons were able to defend all nine of St. Lawrence's corners.
 
St. Lawrence goalkeeper Sydney Giacin made three saves in the first half and first-year Shea Flannery stopped five in the second. Cortland's starting goalkeeper Marisa D'Amico finished with 10 saves and Megan McGuinness made one save in just over nine minutes in the cage.
 
The Saints fell to 3-7 and the Red Dragons improved to 8-2.
 
St. Lawrence will host the University of Rochester on Sunday, October 6 at 2 p.m. on North Country Field at Hall-Leet Stadium in its second Liberty League matchup of the season.
