Game Recap
Canisius sophomore Gretta Dry scored her first goal of the season just 1:06 into the game, but the hosting Siena Saints ran off the game's next three scores to earn the 3-1 win in MAAC women's soccer action Wednesday afternoon at Siena Field in Loudonville, N.Y.

Dry put the Blue and Gold up 1-0 in the game's second minute after she was able to corral in a corner kick past Siena goalkeeper Taylor Dorado. The Griffs' scoring play was started when freshman Maggie Canitia lofted a long corner kick toward the far left post where sophomore Madeline Beaulieu redirected the ball, which Dry knocked into the goal. The assist is Canitia's first career point.

Siena tied the game at 1-1 in the 28th minute when Gabby Albano tallied her fourth of the season. The Saints took the lead for good 2-1 in the 45th minute thanks to the first goal of the 2017 campaign scored by Hanna Longendyke. Longendyke was able to settle a cross that was deflected around the box. Siena added one more in the 76th minute when Jayanna Monds broke away from the pack, chipping in a shot past Canisius sophomore goalkeeper Alana Rossi.

Dorado made one stop goal en route to the victory for the Saints, while Rossi was credited with three stops in the losing effort.
