No. 15 Thoroughbreds take down Oneonta, 15-9

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – The No. 15 Skidmore College men's lacrosse team closed out non-conference play with a 15-9 victory over SUNY Oneonta at Wachenheim Field on Monday afternoon.

Led by hat tricks from sophomore Jake Weiner and freshman Conor Geier, along with a career-high six assists from sophomore Michael Aiello, the Thoroughbreds (9-2) came alive offensively with 11 goals across the middle two quarters to overcome a strong first-quarter start from the Red Dragons (5-6).

For the game, Skidmore outshot Oneonta 51-27 and held an 18-10 edge on faceoffs, while limiting the visitors to just 20-of-29 on clear attempts to win the possession battle.

In goal, sophomore Marc Gadbois recorded 11 saves for his 11th career win. On faceoffs, freshman Wilder Finkel led the way, going 15-of-22 with nine groundballs.
