KEUKA, N.Y. – Russell Sage College Women's Lacrosse secured the first victory in the tenure of Head Coach Geri Seif, defeating Keuka 15-6 on Saturday afternoon.
The Gators controlled the pace all game, entering the half with a 7-2 lead. They kept it going from there, scoring eight second half goals to pick up their first win of the season
Samantha Shafer (Schenectady, NY/Schenectady), a graduate student, was outstanding in the victory. The attacker scored seven goals and contributed one assist.
Three other RSC attackers tallied multiple goals, as junior midfielder Alexis Crossman (Corinth, NY/Corinth), freshman Abigail Koennecke (Delmar, NY/Bethlehem Central), and junior midfielder Gianna Geraci (Averill Park, NY/Averill Park) all registered a pair to the 15 goal outburst.
Crossman also picked up seven ground balls, controlled six draws, and caused four turnovers.
"Today was a complete team effort and we were able to capitalize on plays which kept the momentum going," Seif noted after her first win. "Two things we focused on for our game plan today were composure on offense and being proactive on defense. WE have really good competition coming up so I think today showed what can happen when everything comes together."
The Gators (1-6/1-4 E8) are back on the turf on Wednesday against Utica.
