ROCHESTER, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo sophomore forward Katrina Clare scored her team-leading ninth goal of the season but it wasn't enough to overcome host Rochester as the Knights fell to the YellowJackets, 3-1, on Saturday afternoon. 

HOW IT HAPPENED 

• Rochester got on the board early, converting a penalty corner in the first quarter to take a 1-0 lead. The Knights outshot the YellowJackets, 10-3, in the first half but could not find the cage and went into halftime trailing by a goal. 
• Clare tied the game, 1-1, six minutes into the third quarter. Sophomore defender Olivia Hernick ripped a shot off of a penalty corner set play and Clare deflected it past the goalkeeper to level the score.
• Near the end of the third frame, Rochester regained the lead. Junior defender Sadie Mitchell came up with a defensive save, but later in the sequence the YellowJackets were awarded a stroke. Rochester converted on the penalty stroke to take the lead, 2-1, with just under a minute to play in the third.  
• The Knights nearly tied the game on a penalty corner in the final period, but Mitchell's shot off the set piece went wide of the post. Rochester added an insurance goal late in the game to take the 3-1 victory. 

QUICK FACTS

• Junior goalkeeper Sarah Quinlan made eight stops while Mitchell and sophomore defender Emma Paris were each awarded a defensive save. 
• Hernick earned her first career assist and first career point.
• Clare leads the team with nine goals and 19 points on the season.
