Box Score

CORTLAND, N.Y. - The SUNY Geneseo women's lacrosse team put up an incredible fourth-quarter comeback attempt in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) championship game against Cortland, but ultimately fell 16-14.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Geneseo started off the game with a strong offensive game plan and took a 4-3 lead with under six minutes left in the first quarter. However, the Red Dragons rebounded and scored the final three goals of the quarter to take a 6-4 advantage.
  • Cortland was able to keep their momentum going from the strong finish to the first quarter and took a 10-5 lead into halftime.
