GENESEO, N.Y. - The SUNY Geneseo women's lacrosse team advanced to the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) championship game after defeating Oswego, 15-9, in the semifinal matchup.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Knights never held the lead in the first quarter as they trailed 1-0 and 2-1 against the Lakers. Freshman Alaina Reina started the scoring off for the Knights with the lone goal.
• With multiple lead changes in the second quarter, Molly Brown assisted Emily Salanger on back-to-back goals to put Geneseo up 6-4 to end the first half.
• Salanger started up the scoring in the second half and Oswego responded with two goals in a row to cut Geneseo's lead to one goal at 7-6. The Knights then gained significant momentum scoring seven consecutive goals late in the third quarter and early fourth quarter.
• Oswego went on to score four straight goals in the fourth quarter, but the Geneseo lead was too large to recover from and the Knights concluded their semifinal win.
