ONEONTA, NEW YORK — Salisbury won its second straight State University of New York Athletic Conference field hockey title Saturday afternoon, beating Cortland 4-2 in Oneonta, the university said. Tournament host SUNY Oneonta lists the venue as All College Field.
Devon DeGregory put the Sea Gulls ahead on a first-quarter penalty stroke. Cortland tied it, and Dakotah Trader answered less than two minutes later off a Layla Kent pass. Alex Kupper finished a Trader feed early in the third quarter, and Trader scored again in the fourth off a Regan Worley assist before Cortland converted a late penalty stroke.
Trader, with two goals and an assist, was named the tournament's most valuable player. Salisbury outshot Cortland 25-7, led 15-4 in shots on goal and earned 10 penalty corners to Cortland's six. Maddie Castaneda made two saves.
Salisbury awaits its NCAA tournament assignment from the selection show at 9 p.m. Sunday. The roster lists freshman forward Juliana Stepp of Easton, a Saints Peter & Paul product.
Two titles in two years, and the bracket comes next.
