Reid scored her first of the game in the 28

Less than two minutes later, Reid struck again when she curled a corner kick from the left side to the near post, going just over the goalkeeper's hands and into the net.
The Red Dragons responded just before halftime, as Rolston finished off a scramble in front of the goal to make it 2-1 in the 43
rd minute.
The two teams headed to halftime with the score 2-1 in favor of the host Knights.
Oneonta tied the score in the 54th minute. Oneonta played a ball from the right flank to the far post where junior midfielder
Seaver Lipshie (Port Jefferson Station/Comsewogue) trapped it down to Steinhauer at the six-yard box, who then put it away.
Reid nearly completed a hat trick in the 60th minute with a second penalty kick attempt, but pushed this one wide of the left post. Reid finally ended the game in the 103
rd minute on a free kick nearly 25 yards out. She drove the ball on the ground sneaking it just inside the near post for the game-winning goal.
Oneonta will finish its weekend road trip tomorrow with a game at Brockport beginning at 1pm.
