The Tigers are off to their best start on the pitch since 2010 after two 2-0 wins against #25 Geneseo and Otterbein over the past week.

Sophomore Sam Halligan led the team against Geneseo with an assist on senior Madison Corso's 67th minute goal before scoring a goal of her own in the 68th minute. RIT also outshot Geneseo 19-2.

Halligan again featured in the Otterbein win, assisting both goals. Senior Christine Cataldo-Smith got the scoring started in the 61st minute on a rebound off a Halligan free kick, and fellow senior Maddy Bullis scored off another Halligan free kick in the 76th minute. Senior goalkeeper Darcie Jones made two saves in the shutout.

RIT hosts Brockport on Saturday, looking to improve to 5-0 for the first time since 2010.
