Field Hockey Blanks St. John Fisher, 2-0

Box Score

GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo junior goalkeeper Sarah Quinlan made six saves to earn her first career shutout as the Knights blanked visiting St. John Fisher, 2-0, at College Stadium on Wednesday night. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • The Knights and Cardinals battled throughout the first half exchanging scoring opportunities, but went into the halftime break scoreless. 
  • In the third quarter, junior midfielder Cassidy Sturdevant beat a defender down the right flank and centered a pass to junior forward Isabella Vinciguerra. Vinciguerra fired a low shot past the goalkeeper to give the Knights a 1-0 lead just over 90 seconds into the second half. 
  • The Knights held off the St. John Fisher attack as Quinlan made four fourth-quarter saves to preserve the shutout. 
  • With just over five minutes remaining, junior midfielder Jenna Piotrowsky fired a shot off the keeper's pads, but the rebound fell to sophomore midfielder Lauren Briody. Seeing the goalkeeper out of position, Briody chipped a shot high over the defense and into the side netting, extending the Geneseo lead to 2-0. 

QUICK FACTS 

  • Geneseo opens the season with a 3-0 mark for the first time since at least 2011. Briody and Vinciguerra became the 11th and 12th Knights to score a goal this season. 
  • The Knights handed St. John Fisher its first shutout in 24 games, dating back to Sept. 22, 2019. 
  • Geneseo outshot the visitors, 16-14, and earned nine penalty corners while holding the Cardinals to just four. 

WHAT'S NEXT?

Geneseo (3-0) will travel to Saratoga Springs, N.Y. to face Skidmore College on Saturday at 12:00 p.m.
