The SUNY Oneonta field hockey team fell to SUNY Cortland 3-2 in double-overtime Wednesday evening in SUNYAC Semifinal action. The loss ends the season for the Red Dragons with a record of 10-9.

Cortland responded in the 27th minute when Shannon McGuinness fed Jess Gibaldi on a corner to knot the game at 1-1. With under five minutes to play in the first half, Hannah Burchell redirected a shot off the left post and into the net to give Cortland a 2-1 lead at the break.

The score remained the same until the 69th minute when Grace Bilow (Webster/Webster Thomas) connected Colleen Geyer (West Nyack/Clarkstown South), who blasted a shot into the Cortland net to tie the game at 2-2.

After a scoreless first overtime, Cortland earned a trip to the SUNYAC Championship when Jess Gibaldi scored on a loose ball in front with 30 seconds remaining in the second overtime.
