GENEVA, N.Y.-- The Skidmore College field hockey team rebounded from its lone loss of the season for a 3-1 Liberty League road win over 17th ranked William Smith College, Friday.
 
The Thoroughbreds up their record to 7-1 overall and 2-0 in Liberty League play. The Herons are 5-3 and 0-1.
 
William Smith scored first early when Katie Meyer scored her fourth of the season just 2:57 in.  Dani DeGregory (Greenwich, N.Y./Greenwich High School) tied it less than two minutes later when she collected her own rebound and fired one past Heron goalie Catherine Hare at 4:49.
 
DeGergory, the nation's leading scorer, scored the eventual game winner at 38:54 when she deked a defender and blasted a shot into the back of the net for a 2-1 Skidmore lead.  She completed the hat trick in the 52nd minute when she collected a bouncing ball in front of the net and buried her 18th goal of the season.
 
Skidmore outshot the Herons 14-8 and held a 7-4 advantage on penalty corners.
 
Amy Beck got the start for the Thoroughbreds making five saves on the contest. Hare posted seven saves.
