SUNY Oneonta field hockey gave Cortland all it could handle today but came up short in double overtime 3-2.

Senior Erin Smith scored with seven minutes, 31 seconds remaining in the second overtime to lift the nationally 16th-ranked Cortland field hockey team to a 3-2 win at the SUNY Cortland Stadium Complex.

Jillian Vogl gave Cortland a 1-0 lead 28:03 into the game with a rebound goal.

Junior Andrea Day (Greene/Greene) tied the game at 45:09 when she converted a cross from Sara Rattigan (Stormville/Carmel). The visiting Red Dragons grabbed a 2-1 lead at 62:16 as Day finished off a rebound. Mairead Hourihan made a diving save and a second shot hit the post before Day cleaned up in front.

With Cortland pressing for the tying goal in the closing seconds, Cortland was awarded a penalty corner. The ball went out to the top of the circle where Gabrielle Stein blasted a shot past Tess Tracy (Liverpool/Liverpool) with no time on the clock to send the game to overtime.
 
In the first 15-minute extra session, Cortland earned five penalty corners but could not convert. The host Red Dragons controlled much of the play in the second overtime and eventually broke through at the midway point. Smith controlled the ball at the top of the circle, pulled it out, pushed it back in and blasted a long shot that found the cage to give Cortland the 3-2 victory.
 
Tracy made 14 saves, while senior Stephanie Fiske (Marathon/Marathon) recorded two defensive saves and junior Sierra Earle (Baldwinsville/Baldwinsville) had one.

Oneonta travels to Oswego Sunday, Oct. 27th for a game starting at 1:00 p.m.
