Smith Busy with Seven Points in Knights' Season-Opening Win Over Potsdam

Potsdam, NY – A barrage of shots midway through the first half reset the tone of Wednesday night's game for the Clarkson University Women's Lacrosse team as the Golden Knights turned a one-goal game into a double-digit affair by the break and cruised to an 18-6 win in the team's 2020 opener at SUNY Potsdam.

The Golden Knights will get a week off before returning to action as they will be back in action against another SUNYAC school next Wednesday when the team travels to face Oswego State.

Up by just one goal 10 minutes into the contest, it appeared as if the Green and Gold might be in for a close game against the Bears. Potsdam scored at 19:51, but the Knights won the ensuing draw and held the ball in the Bears' end for the next three and a half minutes, taking eight shots and grabbing five groundballs in a lengthy possession. The ninth shot finally found pay dirt when junior transfer Kyrsten Stone finished off a pass from Sydney Roderick at 16:24 to put Clarkson up 4-2. That was the beginning of a long offensive push by Clarkson that saw the Knights score the final 10 goals of the half to take a 13-2 lead. Clarkson finished off the first half with a 35-4 edge in shots (23-4 shots on goal), a 19-8 lead in groundballs and a 12-4 advantage in draws.

Potsdam would threaten to stop the clock in the second half by getting to within 10 goals on three separate occasions, but the Bears could never truly challenge Clarkson's large lead. Abby Collins, Grace Hagberg, and Celia Fitzgerald scored three of the final four goals of the game in the last 12-plus minutes to close out the 18-6 victory.

Ten different players scored a goal for the Knights, led by the seven-point effort of Lexi Smith, who produced four goals and three assists. Sydney Roderick found her teammates four times in the first half while Aubrey Borgesi also tallied three goals in the opening 30 minutes, all of which came in the first 20 minutes. Katie Sergeant tallied a pair of goals and an assist and both Abby Collins and Julia Lavarnway scored two goals. Emma Andrews and Mia Petrone also tossed in a goal and assist apiece. Borgesi was also busy with five groundballs and four draw controls and Collins contributed three groundballs and three draws. Sergeant and Andrews also added five and four draw controls, respectively.

Clarkson finished with a hefty 56-9 advantage in shots (36-8 shots on goal) and also won 21 of the 26 draws. The Knights also won the battle of the turf, gaining 28 groundballs to Potsdam's 15. Emily Fischer made two saves in the first 37-plus minutes while Sydney Christiansen closed out the final 22:45 in the Clarkson crease. Netta Terrance made 10 saves in 30 minutes for Potsdam while Olivia Woolheater made eight saves in the second half.
