Rochester, NY – The Montclair State women's soccer team outshot host Rochester 9-1 in the second half, but the Red Hawks could not come up with goal and settled for a scoreless draw in the Flower City Classic on Saturday.

The Red Hawks (1-0-1) finished tied with SUNY Geneseo for first place in the Classic with the Knights taking home the trophy based on goal differential. (+3 to MSU's +1).
Senior JENNIE HORNSTRA was voted Best Offensive Player of the tournament after initiating most of MSU's dangerous attacks.

Scoring opportunities were thin in the first half, although Montclair nearly broke on the scoreboard in the sixth minute. Hornstra raced down the right sideline and cut towards the penalty area. Hlavac rushed off the line to cut down the angle. Hornstra lined it past her, but it was just wide of the left post.

Rochester had two opportunities in the first half – within three minutes of each other. Midway through the period, McKenzie Runyan ran from left to right, angling towards the top of the penalty area as the defense parted. She fired from the penalty arc, but the ball sailed over the crossbar. Three minutes later, Jorie Freitag got through the MSU defense on the right flank. She dribbled into the box and from a tough angle, rolled a shot past the left post.

The Red Hawks picked up the pace in the second half. TYLER MADISON fired wide left from high in the box early in the second half. With 10 minutes gone, a Montclair corner kick came into the box where a player stepped over it. The ball rolled to DEANNA ROTELLA. Her shot, ticketed for the low left corner, was saved by a diving Hlavac.

Hornstra's shot off a corner kick in the 67^th minute was saved at the low right post by Hlavac. With the clock approaching two minutes left, Hornstra centered the ball but Madison headed the service wide left.

Rochester produced some scoring chances in the first OT period. A scramble in the goalmouth eventually found Kim Stagg with the ball 10 yards off the line outside the right post. Her shot for the opposite corner went through a tangle of bodies and was just wide of goal.

Goalkeeper ALYSON BURNS registered her second consecutive shutout with three saves.

Montclair State will return home for its initial game at MSU Soccer Park on Wednesday, September 7. The Red Hawks will host Brooklyn College at 8:00 pm.
