BOXSCORE FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Fredonia State moved closed to nailing down a SUNYAC Tournament berth with a 5-0 home win Saturday over Potsdam on Senior Day.
Reilly Condidorio scored three goals and continued to move up on Blue Devil career and single-season stats lists, while
Catie Hale collected one goal and three assists.
Meaghan Meszaros made one save for her second shutout of the weekend and seventh of the season.
Katie Kleine and
Lindsay Putman each had one goal.
The Blue Devils improved to 9-6 overall and 5-2 in the SUNYAC to move past idle Oneonta into second place in the conference standings. Both teams trail Cortland with one week of games remaining.
The loss dropped Potsdam to 3-9-2 overall and 0-7 in the SUNYAC. It was their ninth straight loss.
Battling high wind bursts and occasional downbursts, the teams were playing a scoreless stalemate until Kleine broke through in the 24th minute with her third goal of the season. Hale was credited with an assist for a short through ball which Kleine received, dribbled once, and shot into the low side of the net.
Condidorio scored her first of two goals in the 28th minute to make it 2-0 following a pass from the left wing by Maddie Brown.
Putman was next on the scoresheet with her first goal of the season. It came in the 31st minute, assisted by Hale, and gave her another reason to smile her Senior Day. She,
Emily Beh,
Melissa Cummiskey, and tri-captain
Lyz Dembrow were recognized during a pre-game ceremony prior to their final regular-season home game.
Condidorio closed out the first-half scoring in the 34th minute. Hale set her up with a well-delivered short through ball. Condidorio received the pass, beat a defender, and sidestepped the charging goalkeeper to tap the ball into the vacated net.
Hale scored the only goal of the second half, a shot to the lower right side form just outside the penalty-kick area. It was Hale's third goal of the year, and Kleine had the assist.
The two goals for Condidorio were her 11th and 12th of the season, one short of the single-season record by Beth Mangino in 1993. The four points -- two for each goal -- also moved Condidorio into fourth in the single-season record list with 26. She is also third on the list with 27 points in 2008. Mangino (1993) and Jennifer Robinson (2002) hold the school record with 29 points each.
In addition, Condidorio surpassed Jessica Weiser on the career points list. Weiser had 74 points in 76 games from 2002-05, while Condidorio has 76 points in 52 games so far.
Lauren Heilweil is the all-time leader in points and goals with 80 and 33, respectively, in 74 games during the 2006-09 seasons.
Condidorio is not alone in moving up Fredonia State record lists this season. Meszaros authored her 14th career shutout Saturday and tied Jen White (1991-94) for third on the all-time list.
