No. 4 Field Hockey steamrolls Cortland in SUNYAC opener

CORTLAND, N.Y. – The fourth-ranked Salisbury University field hockey team made an emphatic opening statement in its first-ever State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) matchup, smashing the Cortland Red Dragons 5-0 on Saturday afternoon at the Cortland Stadium Complex.
 
The Sea Gulls double-dipped in the game's fifth minute, starting when Kaitlyn DeModna fired one on target and Morgan Bradford deflected it into the cage. Just 22 seconds later, McKenna Horner picked up a rebound off the post and chipped it in, giving Salisbury a quick 2-0 advantage that it would maintain into halftime.
 
SU struck quickly again in the third quarter, this time as a Regan Nacrelli attempt from a tough left-side angle scooted past the keeper to make it 3-0. The fourth quarter belonged to Marli McDorman, who took a feed from DeModna in the 47th minute and blasted into the net, followed by a spinning putback tally just two minutes later to give the game its final 5-0 margin.
 
GAME NOTES
  • Marli McDorman notched her team-leading sixth and seventh goals with her second multi-goal game of the season and fifth of her career. McDorman has scored in three straight games.
  • McKenna Horner scored her fourth goal of the year, while Morgan Bradford added her third and Regan Nacrelli scored her season's first.
  • Kaitlyn DeModna dished out two assists on the day.
  • Kelly Davis stopped four shots over 53:22, while Abbey McIlvain played the final 6:38 and recorded one save to extend the Sea Gulls' shutout streak to four games.
