GENESEO, N.Y. - The SUNY Geneseo field hockey team clinched the Empire 8 regular season title on Wednesday afternoon, defeating Houghton 7-2 to improve to 18-1 overall and 10-0 in conference. The win was highlighted by Ella Greico recording her 100th career point, becoming just the sixth player in program history to reach the milestone.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• The Knights wasted no time jumping ahead, as Ava Harman scored in the third minute off a pass from Ella Greico. Greico then picked up two more assists in the first quarter, picking up a point on a pair of goals scored by Halle Senfield.
• Greico continued her hot start, scoring back-to-back goals between the second and third quarters. With the Knights leading 5-0, the New Hartford, N.Y. native had scored or assisted on every goal scored.
