BOXSCORE FREDONIA, N.Y. -- Fredonia State upset nationally ranked St. John Fisher, 10-7, in women's lacrosse Tuesday for the second straight season.

Junior midfielder Marissa Cussins (Corning, N.Y.) scored six goals to lead the Blue Devils' attack for the second time in two seasons against the Cardinals.

Fredonia State defeated Fisher, 14-13, in double-overtime last seaon on a game-winning goal by Cussins. The Cardinals were then, like now, ranked No. 14 nationally by the IWLCA, while the Blue Devils were unranked, same as this year.

The victory was the fifth straight and lifted the Blue Devils to 5-2. The Cardinals fell to 5-2.

The Blue Devils jumped out to a 3-0 lead on goals by Cussins, junior midfielder Katie Kleine (Cazenovia, N.Y.), and freshman attack Emily Polizzi (Rushville, N.Y.) in just under nine minutes.

Cussins scored three more times and Polizzi once more to push the lead out to 7-1. The Cardinals gained a measure of momentum with a player-down goal by Jill Zerrillo in the final minute of the first half.

Fredonia State took its largest lead, 9-2, on two more goals by Cussins -- giving her 12 goals in the last two games and 13 against St. John Fisher the past two seasons -- before the Cardinals made things interesting. They scored three straight goals, and five of the last six in the game. Blue Devil freshman goalkeeper Jessica Zagari (Rochester, N.Y.) made two key saves down the stretch to keep the score from getting closer.

In addition to her one goal, Kleine had two assists plus team-highs for ground balls (3, tied with two teammates), draw controls (3), and caused turnovers (4). Senior defender Mary Bruton (Palmyra, N.Y.) also had 3 ground balls and 3 caused turnovers, and Zagari had 3 ground balls in addition to 8 saves.

Junior attack Katie Glagolev (Webster, N.Y.) had one goal.

Sierrra Badger and Taylor Hughes had 2 goals each for St. John Fisher. Samantha Barton was credited with 2 ground balls, 2 caused turnovers, and 6 draw controls.

Fredonia State enters SUNYAC play this weekend -- the first of seven conference games -- when they visit Oswego. Game time is 1 p.m. Saturday.
