Box Score GENEVA, N.Y.—Sophomore Brooke Maloney (Greenwich/Greenwich, Conn.) scored in the 12th minute of overtime to lift visiting St. Lawrence over William Smith 3-2 in Liberty League field hockey action on McCooey Field today. The win ups the Saints record to 10-4, 5-1 in the conference, while the Herons slip to 8-7, 2-4.
Maloney's game-winner, her fifth goal of the season, came on a blast from the top of the circle, just to the right of the cage that glided inside the far post. St. Lawrence was outshot 14-13, but took all six of the shots in overtime.
The Saints opened the scoring in the 12th minute when junior Jennifer Stetson (Mt. Abraham/Bristol, Vt.) converted a penalty stroke for her sixth goal of the year.

William Smith controlled the tempo in the second half, outshooting the visitors 10-2, but struggled to solve goalie Emilie Lannamann (Proctor Academy/Durham, N.H.).
