Just four minutes later, Smith struck again, putting home a perfect cross from Catherine Mammoser(Lackawanna/Eden) to make it 2-0, Buffalo State.
Lindsay Mahoney (Port Jefferson/St. John the Baptist) put the final nail in the coffin of Fredonia in the 73rdminute with her first goal of the season, knocking in a header off a Breanna Knight (Valley Stream/Valley Stream South) cross to make it 3-0.
