ONEONTA — The Fredonia State women’s soccer team took down Oneonta in a 4-2 SUNYAC win at home on Saturday. Gabby Irwin paced the offense with a goal and two assists, while Bronwyn Madden, Grace Mackey, and Anna Ratchuk also scored.

The Devils would get two goals in the final five minutes of the first half.

The first when Irwin took the ball down the right side near the endline. She passed the ball across the front of the goal where Mackey drove it home.

The next score was by Irwin with 2:49 left in the half. Irwin then took a breakaway and beat a charging goaltender, placing the ball in the upper right corner.

Anna Ratchuk added an insurance goal with ten minutes left to play late in the second half.

Kaiden Ring scored for Oneonta in the 87th minute to give the 4-2 final.

Casey Fetzner made five saves for the Devils. Bryanna Meehan made four stops for Oneonta.
