Field Hockey Tops RPI For First Victory

TROY, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo first-year forward Isabel Reitano-Stayer posted two goals and added an assist as the Knights shutout host Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), 3-0, on Saturday afternoon.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Geneseo opened the scoring early in the first quarter when junior forward Katrina Clare put a shot off the goalie's pads and Reitano-Stayer slapped the rebound into the cage.
  • Just over two minutes later, Reitano-Stayer scored again, converting off of an incisive pass from graduate defender Katherine Kreiss to make it 2-0 just 5:29 into the game.
  • In the third quarter, first-year midfielder Hailey Roethel beat a defender down the left flank and into the circle. Roethel fired a shot near post and snuck it into the cage past the keeper to make it 3-0.
  • Junior goalkeeper Lily Spitz made four saves in the second half as RPI pressed the tempo to try and get on the scoreboard. The Geneseo defense posted its first shutout of the season to earn the victory.
 
QUICK FACTS
  • Reitano-Stayer became the first Knights' first-year player to score multiple goals in a game since November 16, 2019 when senior forward Maggie Phipps tallied two goals in an NCAA Tournament contest against MIT.
  • Katherine Kreiss, Katrina Clare and Reitano-Stayer each recorded an assist in the game as the Knights earned the victory.
  • Spitz posted four saves to earn her first-career shutout, giving the Knights their first victory of the season.
 
WHAT'S NEXT?
 
Geneseo (1-1) will return home to host William Smith on Wednesday, Sept. 7 at College Stadium at 6:00 p.m.
