GENESEO, N.Y. – Junior forward Katrina Clare struck for two goals and Sarah Quinlan posted a four-save shutout as the Knights defeated visiting Cortland, 2-0, in State University of New York Athletic Conference Field Hockey action on Saturday at College Stadium. Geneseo has posted five-straight shutouts, holding opponent scoreless since Sept. 14, the longest such streak in program history.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Geneseo and Cortland played evenly through the first quarter with the Knights outshooting the Red Dragons, 5-0, in the opening frame.
• In the second quarter, Clare intercepted a pass at midfield and sprung Phipps down the far side with a long forward pass. Phipps drove toward goal and fired a centering pass toward the pads where Clare tapped it home past the charging goalkeeper to make it 1-0.
• The Knights added to their lead in the third quarter when Cassidy Sturdevant dribbled past several Cortland defenders on the right side to gain the end line. She fired a pass back into the goal mouth where Clare one-timed it home to make it 2-0.
