Montclair, NJ (9/8/07) – Senior forward JENNIFER TANIS (Oak Ridge, NJ / Jefferson) scored a pair of goals while junior JENNA GALLO (Voorhees, NJ / Eastern) collected a pair of assists as 11 th-ranked Montclair State remained unbeaten with a 4-1 win over SUNY Geneseo in the Montclair State/William Paterson Invitational at Sprague Field on Saturday afternoon.

Sophomore REBECCA DOBIESZ (Old Bridge, NJ / Old Bridge) and freshman DIANA COLOMBO (Westhampton, NJ /Rancocas Valley) each had goals as MSU improved to 3-0 on the season – the fifth straight campaign that the Red Hawks have opened a season with three consecutive victories.

Freshman forward Michelle Milkovich (Vestal, NY / Vestal) scored the lone goal for the Blue Knights, who fell to 0-3 on the year.

Tanis , MSU's all-time leading goal scorer, put the Red Hawks on the board inside the first 10 minutes of the game. Chasing down a through ball on the right side, Tanis moved across the field to the left side of the cage, before unleashing a backhand that flew over the shoulder of goalkeeper Emily O'Leary (Pittsford, NY/Pittsford Sutherland) for the first goal of the game with 25:50 left in the opening period.

Montclair State extended the lead eight minutes later as Colombo collected her first career goal. Off a penalty corner, Gallo let loose a shot from the top of the circle that Colombo deflected in for the 2-0 lead. Tanis would add her second of the game and fifth of the year at the 26:34 mark of the half as Montclair went into the break up 3-0.

In the second half Dobiesz registered her second goal of the year tapping in a shot from in front of the cage off a feed from Gallo, who has three assists in the first three games.

Geneseo would avoid the shutout as Milkovich notched her second goal off a penalty corner. Sarah Doster ( Getzville, NY/Williamsville North) inserted the ball off the corner to Milkovich, who rocketed a shot through the defense and into the cage.

MSU goalkeeper JACQUIE SUPKO ( Moorestown, NJ / Moorestown) made five saves for the Red Hawks while O'Leary had four and senior Lauren McCauley ( Gansevoort, NY/ Saratoga Springs) stopped six in relief for the Blue Knights.

Montclair State held a 23-9 advantage in shots and 21-8 in penalty corners.

Both teams return to action on Sunday in the MSU/WPU Invitational. Montclair State will host Renselaer at Sprague Field at 1:00 pm. Geneseo will head to Wayne, NJ to take on William Paterson at the same time.
