A penalty kick conversion by Rachel Walsh in the 31^st minute of the match stood up today, as the visiting SUNY Geneseo Knights left town with a narrow 1-0 victory against host SUNY Oneonta in SUNYAC women's action on Red Dragon Field.  The loss for the Red Dragons dropped them to 4-7 overall and 1-4 in conference play while the Knights remained atop the conference with its 5-0 record.
 
A foul called just inside the box stopped the clock at 30:14 into the match.  Walsh stepped up for Geneseo (8-2-1) to take the kick and buried a shot into the lower right corner of the goal.  For Walsh, it was her first goal of the season.
 
The Knights held a clear advantage in shots during the first 45 minutes, outshooting Oneonta 11-1.
 
Jolene Krom (Sidney/Sidney) started the game for Oneonta and made six saves in her half of action.  Claire Lepper (Poland/Poland) played the second half and recorded a pair of saves.
 
The match was played even in the second half with both squads recording five shots each.  Oneonta's best chance to tie the game came in the 69^th minute on a play that developed with a long crossing pass from the right wing.  Sophomore Micaela Honsinger (New Hartford/New Hartford) was on the back post and settled the ball before getting a shot off, but Emily Janiszewski, who was on her side, made a kick save.
 
Oneonta will be at home again tomorrow hosting Brockport beginning at 1pm.
