Freshman Daly paces Blue Devils
Freshman midfield Leah Daly scored three times in the second half along with one in the first half plus three assists as Brockport defeated the Greece Thunder 12-2 in girls lacrosse.
The Blue Devils jumped out to a 5-0 halftime lead as Daly began the offense off a pass from behind the net from freshman Tori Lammes at 4:07. A little over one minute later, Lexi Firkins converted a perfect triangle passing play with Erika Ruggieri and Tori Penders to make it 2-0 at 5:22.
Firkins scored twice more in the first half less than five minutes apart to complete her hat trick and stake the Blue Devils to a 4-0 lead before Lammes scored after Daly picked up a turnover with just 45 seconds remaining in the first half.
Lammes opened the second half with a goal off a free possession at 1:37 before Christina Middleton cut to the front of the net from the right side and scored at 2:54 to make it 7-0 Brockport.
Penders and Daly each scored 46 seconds apart in the eighth minute. Daly scored her third of the contest to make it 10-0 before she unselfishly passed to Nadia Danesi for an easy goal off a two-on-one break at 15:40.
The Thunder finally broke up the shutout bid with a goal with 2:30 remaining and scored again with two seconds left to sandwich the fourth tally of the game by Daly.
Lammes added three assists to her two goals and Middleton had two assists while Penders and Ruggieri each added one assist for the 3-0 Blue Devils.
Junior Nicole Piskorowski made six saves in net for Brockport and freshman Gabby LoGiudice relieved her late in the contest as the senior-laden defense led by May Dempsey, Andrea Visca and Lupe Telles held the Thunder to just 12 shots in the contest.
