Offensive Outburst Leads Knights to Win Over St. John Fisher

GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo senior forward Maggie Phipps scored a pair of goals as the Knights poured on a season-high six goals to defeat visiting St. John Fisher, 6-2, on Wednesday afternoon at College Stadium. 

HOW IT HAPPENED 
  • Geneseo opened the scoring in the first few minutes, capitalizing in transition. First-year midfielder Sam Lewis fired a shot in towards the cage where junior forward Grace Olczak redirected it past the keeper into the corner of the goal, putting the Knights ahead 1-0. 
  • St. John Fisher evened the score, 1-1, in the first quarter but the Knights regained the lead in the second period. Senior forward Maggie Phipps finished off a 3-on-2 break, swatting a pass out of the air and in for a 2-1 lead. She added her second goal of the day later in the frame, pulling a loose ball out of a scrum and burying it to make it 3-1. Fisher answered with a goal before the halftime break but the Knights led, 3-2, heading into the third quarter.
  • In the third, junior forward Katrina Clare earned a stroke and Darby Matthews buried it to make it 4-2.
  • Lewis and Clare each added fourth-quarter goals to extend the Knights' lead as they earned the 6-2 victory. 

QUICK FACTS 
  • The Knights tallied a season-high six goals, the team's most goals since Oct. 6, 2021 when they tallied six goals in a 6-0 victory over Houghton. 
  • Phipps' two-goal game marked her seventh-career multi-goal game and her first of the 2022 campaign. 
  • Lewis finished with a goal and an assist while eight Knights tallied at least one point in the contest. 
  • Olczak has scored a goal in each of the Knights' last three games, the longest scoring streak of her career. 
  • Lily Spitz got the start and made two saves and allowed two goals in the first half. Sarah Quinlan played the second half, tallying three saves while holding the Cardinals without a score. 

WHAT'S NEXT? 
Geneseo (3-2) will travel to Nazareth on Wednesday, Sept. 21 for a non-conference matchup with the Golden Flyers, with game time scheduled for 5:00 p.m.
