Box Score

ROCHESTER, NY -- The RIT women's soccer team (4-1-1) played to a 0-0 draw with SUNY Geneseo (2-3-1) in non-conference action from a sunny Tiger Stadium on Wednesday afternoon. RIT is now riding a three-game unbeatem streak.

Shots were 14-12 in favor of the Tigers, while RIT took eight corner kicks to four for the Knights. Freshman Sienna Fisher (Lewisburg, PA/Lewisburg Area) got her first collegiate start in net for the Tigers, earning the tie with seven saves. Julia Sanger made eight saves in net for Geneseo.

RIT fired four shots on goal in the first half, but Geneseo had the best chance late in the half when Alexa Krebs fired a shot from 15 yards out. Fisher made an excellent diving save to her left to keep the game scoreless at the half.

The Tigers generated some good chances in the second half, the best coming in the 52nd minute. Elizabeth May (Pittsford, NY/Pittsford Sutherland) fed Sierra Kiss (Sauquoit, NY/Sauquoit) who made a run into the middle of the field. She fed Kiana Richards (Columbia, MD/Wilde Lake) with a through-ball. Richards dribbled to get open and fired a good hard bending shot. Sanger stayed with the shot and made the diving save keeping the game scoreless.

On the ensuing corner kick, May sent in a service that Ehlana Gray (Sewickley, PA/Avonworth) got a foot on, but was turned aside by the Geneseo defense.

The Tigers earned another corner, but Geneseo was able to clear the ball and counter attack, placing RIT's defense in a 3-on-1 predicament. Krebs wound up with the ball off the break and had a wide open shot from 10 yards out, but her shot went wide of the net.

Neither team generated any decent chances in the overtime periods.

RIT returns to action on Saturday, September 21 when the Tigers take on cross-town rival the University of Rochester in the 2nd Annual Hillside Community Shield. Kick-off is at 5 p.m. at Sahlen's Stadium in downtown Rochester. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for kids under 12 and are available at the Sahlens Stadium Box Office.
