Box Score GENEVA, N.Y.—It took an extra 75 seconds, but the seventh-ranked William Smith College field hockey team remained unbeaten in Liberty League play with a 2-1 overtime win against Union College. Sophomore Kaitlyn Hamilton (Harpursville/Harpursville, N.Y.) put home the game-winner for her team-leading 12th goal of the year.

The Herons (9-1, 4-0) started with the ball in OT, working their way down into the Union defensive zone, where they earned a penalty corner. Junior Kelsey Landahl (Pioneer/Delevan, N.Y.) sent the insertion to the top of the circle where it was received by senior Brittney Paye (Clinton/Clinton, N.Y.). Paye sent a pass to her left that Hamilton slotted into the lower left corner of the cage.

William Smith enjoyed a healthy margin in shots (27-8) and penalty corners (14-8), but struggled to solve Union’s junior goalie Liz Stanford (Acton-Boxboro/Acton, Mass.). She finished the match with 15 saves.

The Herons opened the scoring in the 17th minute, when first-year Brittany Furlong (Cazenovia/Cazenovia, N.Y.) finished a scramble in front of the Union cage for her seventh goal of the season. Watch Furlong's goal

The Dutchwomen (8-3, 2-2) answered in the 34th minute on junior Mallory Mason’s (Algonquin/Southborough, Mass.) unassisted goal. Mason’s tally spoiled back-to-back point-blank stops by William Smith junior goalie Katie DeKraker (Staples/Westport, Conn.). DeKraker finished the day with six saves.

Both teams had quality scoring chances in the second half, but Stanford made nine stops and DeKraker two to keep the frame scoreless.

The Herons are back in action on Oct. 6, when they host Skidmore at 2 p.m. The match will be webcast live on ECAC.tv.
