BROCKPORT, N.Y. – The No. 12 College at Brockport women's lacrosse team used a six-point performance from Kelly Wall to hold off a tough Buffalo State squad on Tuesday in State University of New York Athletic Conference play, 15-7.
 
The Golden Eagles stay perfect in 2016, with a record of 10-0 and 3-0 in SUNYAC play, while the Bengals fall to 4-8 on the year and 1-3 in league play.
 
Head coach Stephen Wagner's team took control of the contest from the get go, scoring five straight goals to open the game. The first came in under a minute of play when Wall powered through the lane to bury an unassisted goal and take the 1-0 lead. Keeley Rice worked into the scoring column off a Courtney Szczesniak set up, posting a 2-0 lead. Jessica Boddery netted a pair of back-to-back goals with Wall adding her second score for the 5-0 lead down to the 18:36 mark.
 
Brockport saw the Bengals get on the board with eight minutes to play in the period. Samantha Dooling ensured that the Golden Eagles would have the final say of the half however, as she worked in an Andrea Zlinsky pass to help the Green and Gold take a 6-1 edge into the break.
 
The Golden Eagles picked up right where they left off, notching three straight scores out of the halftime. Zlinsky buried a pair to open the half, with Rice notching her second score for the 9-1 lead with 24:07 to play.

Wall, who proved her offensive prowess in the contest, had a hand in four of the final five scores. Zlinsky got things started with a Wall assist, with Hannah Cullen finding the back of the cage to give Brockport a 12-7 edge with 8:25 to play.
