Kathryn Smolensky finished with 3g-2a in Brighton's 12-6 win over Penfield.  The Barons scored ten goals straight before Penfield scored the final three goals during a single yellow card against Brighton.  The Patriots came out of the gate strong and scored the opening two goals.  Lindsay Hernady scored unassisted on fast-break goal only 0:26 into the contest.  Two minutes later Chelsea Akins fed the ball to a cutting Megan Motkowski to give the Patriots a 2-0 lead with 22:46 left in the first half.  Brighton followed with two of their own.  Rene Gangarosa assisted Smolensky for the opening goal and two minutes later Gangarosa scored unassisted.  Her goal came after she picked up her own rebound directly on the crease and scored on the strong second effort.  Penfield third goal was scored with Brighton's goalie out of position and Lucy Rugaber feeding across the cage to Madigan Lublin.  

Brighton scored the next 10.  The Baron's were patient on offense and strong on defense.  They demonstrated why they are a perennial favorite. Sophomore Piper Davis had a strong game at the draw and finished with six draw controls and often controlled the location of the ball if not getting the draw control herself.  Penfield struggled against her until they switched up her opponent to fellow sophmore Lucy Rugaber.  Rugaber finished with 3 draw controls and another 6 ground balls.  In the cage for Penfield, Laina Brozost recorded 3saves.  For Brighton, Mary Claire George recorded 4 saves (3 coming from shots off the 8m arc).
