Box Score BUFFALO, N.Y.—Buffalo State (10-5, 3-3 SUNYAC) pulled away from the SUNY Potsdam women's lacrosse team (4-10, 1-6) early to go onto a 16-4 SUNYAC victory on Saturday afternoon. Karen Shaddock scored eight goals and added an assist to lead the Bengals, while Mariah DeBolt chipped in three goals and a helper.  Senior attack Maribeth Simmons paced the Bears with two goals to move into fourth place on Potsdam's all-time scoring list.

Shaddock scored seven of the 13 goals and five in a row late in the first half. Simmons ended the drought with a free position goal at 15:43 of the second half. Junior attack Whitney Boshart followed with a free position tally of her own at 12:37, and freshman midfielder Emily Petit connected at 9:09 to cap the Bears' scoring. Shaddock and DeBolt added two more goals late as the Bengals went on to the 16-4 win.
