Emma Geyer had a huge day for Oswego, recording a hat trick by tallying a goal in the 30th, 48th and 66thminutes of the contest. The three-goal day was her first-career multi-goal game and equals the number of scores she had during the 2015 season. Geyer now leads the team in goals scored with five and in points with 11.
The first goal came immediately after New Paltz scored to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead. Geyer capitalized on the lapse in focus and lackluster defense by dribbling to just outside the 18-yard box and threading the ball into the top-right corner of the goal.
Eighteen minutes later, the junior went straight back to work. Audrey Burbidge lined the ball between defenders to Geyer, who dribbled up and put it past the left-leaning goalie.
Burbidge continued to play with aggression and took two shots on-goal in the immediate couple of minutes following the previous goal. Seven minutes later, the sophomore was able to find the back of the net off a pass from Nicole Perniciaro, who dribbled up the middle of the field before finding Burbidge.
The final tally of the afternoon began as a corner kick, which Burbidge launched into the air. Timing it perfectly, Perniciaro headed the ball into the area occupied by Geyer. With an open space in front of her, the Liverpool, N.Y. native rocketed the ball and beat the goalie to complete the hat trick and secure Oswego's victory.
Melissa Siegfried clocked the first 85-plus minutes in goal and recorded three more saves to earn her fourth victory of the season and number 12 for her career. Finishing off the game between the posts was Allie Izzo, who recorded the final four minutes.
The Lakers will return to the pitch at 1 p.m. on Saturday afternoon when they host conference-rival Oneonta.
