GENESEO, N.Y. - First-year Kaiden Ring (East Greenbush, NY/Columbia) scored her first-career goal to keep the game tied at halftime, but two Geneseo second-half goals gave the Knights a 3-1 win on Saturday afternoon. Oneonta moves to 2-5-1 overall and 0-2-1 in the SUNYAC with the loss, while Geneseo rises to 6-3-1 and 3-0 in the conference. 

Geneseo controlled most of the game and ended up outshooting the Red Dragons 31-3. The Knights got on the board early in the first when Hannah Sullivan passed to Lindsey Clar, who scored at 17:23. Geneseo nearly scored again in the 19th minute after a Vassar foul gave Skala Mckinley a penalty kick. Goalkeeper Claire Lepper (Poland, NY/Poland) made the stop and kept it at 1-0. 

Oneonta answered a minute later when senior Joie Tortorice (Melville, NY/Walt Whitman) found Ring for the open look. Ring fired the shot and tied 1-1 at 21:44. The Knights took five more shots in the half, but the Oneonta defense held.

An early red card on the Red Dragons in the second half gave Geneseo the woman-up advantage, and the Knights scored again at 60:45 off a Nicole Bell goal. Oneonta struggled to break through as Geneseo netted its third goal at 71:14 from Abby Foster. Sophomore Leighann Perciballi (Northport, NY/Kings Park) had one final attempt in the 89th minute, but the goalkeeper made the late save. 

Lepper made ten saves, while Geneseo's Angel Bennett had one. 

Oneonta next plays at Potsdam on Wed. Oct. 5 at 4 p.m.
