The SUNY Oneonta women's lacrosse team celebrated its six seniors prior today's game as they hosted the #19 Knights of Geneseo. The Red and White scored the games first four goals, but a strong second half by Geneseo led to an 8-7 win over the hosts.
 
Rookie Taylor Casey (Garden City South/Kellenberg Memorial) did what she does best, scoring early. The freshman buried a feed from Heather Fitzpatrick (Plainview/Plainview JFK) just a minute and a half into the contest. Senior Nnikki Fioretti followed up four minutes later as she netted her 34^th goal of the year on a man-up, individual effort.
 
Casey netted her second goal of the contest at the 14:28 mark on another man-up opportunity. Her 62^nd goal of the season came unassisted. Senior Jillian Donodeo (Holbrook/Sachem East) got in on the action with her first tally of the day on a free position shot at 17:20 to open a 4-0 lead for the Red Dragons.
 
Geneseo got a pair back before the end of the half, first at 21:52 from Liz Felix, then at 26:17 by Julia DePillo. Both goals were unassisted.
 
The Red Dragons outshot the Knights 13-10 in the opening frame. They controlled five draws compared the visitors two.
 
The offense wasted no time getting back to work in the second half. Donodeo buried a Casey feed just 36 ticks into the closing stanza. The senior tallied all three second half goals for Oneonta, the remaining two each coming in response to back-to-back goals by Geneseo.
 
With the score tied at six, Donodeo capped off the home scoring with her 41^st tally of the season at 23:44 to give the Red Dragons a 7-6 lead.
 
Geneseo scored at 24:42 and 26:19 to claim the win.
 
Junior Rori Stark (Brewster/Brewster) made six saves between the pipes.
 
Oneonta (7-10, 4-4 SUNYAC) now turns its attention to the SUNYAC Tournament as they travel to Brockport on Tuesday to take on the Golden Eagles in the quarterfinals at 4 pm.
