GENESEO, NY -- The nationally-ranked No. 13 SUNY Brockport women's lacrosse team lost a hard-fought battle, 15-12, against host and nationally-ranked No. 16 SUNY Geneseo on Wednesday evening.  Brockport's Allison Jennings tied her career-high with five goals, while Natalie Strough added four points (two goals/two assists) and Anna Leva added one goal and three assists. 

Heather Conklin added two goals of her own, while Cassidy Burnash chipped in with one goal and one assist for the Golden Eagles. Conklin added five draw controls and two caused turnovers.  Logan Hibbard added three caused turnovers and Alexandria VanDerKar posted a career-high five draw controls.

Allison Jennings now has 68 career points in the green and gold (53 goals).  Conklin now has 211 career points as she continues to make her climb up the Brockport record books. 

Brockport opened up a 3-1 lead less than ten minutes into the contest behind one goal from Burnash and two straight from Jennings.  Strough assisted on both of the early goals by Jennings. 

The home team then rattled of three consecutive goals in a span of 7:10 to take a 4-3 lead with 13:28 left in the first half of play.  Brockport made it 4-4 at 8:35 after Strough posted her first goal of the season, but the Knights answered with four straight goals to close out the half with a commanding 8-4 advantage.

The Golden Eagles would not go down without a fight and netted four of the first six goals in the second half to cut their deficit to 10-8 with 17:49 to go in the contest.  Brockport was ultimately able to outscore the home team 8-7 in second half, but Geneseo's four goal first half lead proved to be too much for the Golden Eagles in the 15-12 loss.

Geneseo's Nicole Voci and Jacqui Thorsen each totaled a team-high four goals for the Knights.  Megan Henderson added three goals of her own.  Geneseo goalie Margaret Rosaschi added eight saves in her first win of the young season.
