BROCKPORT, N.Y. – The No. 12/18 College at Brockport women's lacrosse team took on SUNY Oneonta on Saturday in State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) play, extinguishing the Red Dragons, 16-5.
 
The Golden Eagles improve to 10-1 in 2017 and remain unbeaten in conference play with a mark of 4-0, while the Red Dragons fall to 6-5 on the year and 2-2 in the SUNYAC.
 
Head coach Stephen Wagner's squad opened the contest with four straight goals, with four different Golden Eagles connecting. Hannah Cullen got things started, with Andrea Zlinsky, Jessica Boddery and Kelly Wall all finding the back of the cage for the early 4-0 edge with 17:40 to play.
 
Brockport would find themselves trading goals with the Red Dragons for the next six scores, as Boddery, Heather Conklin and Jillian Babinsky provided answers to the Oneonta goals, holding to a 7-3 lead heading into the half.
 
In the second frame the Green and Gold came out of the gate firing, tacking on three scores with Conklin, Boddery and Cullen each working in goals to push the Golden Eagles to a 10-3 edge.
 
Brockport continued to apply the pressure, and following the final two Oneonta scores, pieced together three-goal runs to push out to a 16-5 lead. In the first stretch of three, Taylor Thomas, Wall and Cullen all found the back of the net, while the final three Brockport scores came two from Boddery and one from Wall for the 16-5 win.
