Geneseo
Sophomore Hannah Marafioti had eight goals and two assists, including the overtime game-winner, to lead the Knights to an 19-18 victory over then No. 16 Cortland Saturday. The Knights are the only undefeated team in the SUNYAC, having also defeated then No. 17 Brockport earlier in the week. A victory in one of its final two conference games will clinch the top seed the SUNYAC Tournament or only the second time (2005) in program history.
Denison
Denison took another step towards its sixth-straight NCAC title with a 20-9 win over John Carroll on Saturday.

OUT
Trinity (previously No. 15)
The Bantams have dropped three of their last four, including Saturday’s 13-6 decision against Colby. Trinity fell behind 8-2 at halftime and never pulled closer than five goals in the second half.
Cortland (previously No. 16)
Saturday’s loss to Geneseo was only the second time Cortland has lost to a SUNYAC team in its last 90 outings. The Red Dragons lost at Brockport in 2017 for their only other setback to a conference opponent dating back to 2009. Geneseo beat Cortland for only the second time in 34 all-time meetings and for the first time since 2005.
