LOUDONVILLE The Siena women’s lacrosse program had to wait two years for its chance to get back to the MAAC championship game.
That wasn’t easy but the Saints sure made clinching their long-coveted spot in Sunday’s final look that way.
“It’s [been] hard not to look forward to the championship game, but we know we have to take it one game at a time because if we don’t win the game that’s in front of us, we’re not going to get there,” Siena senior Kerry Gerety said after the Saints’ 20-11 win Thursday in the MAAC semifinals against Monmouth. “So we made it a point of emphasis to keep it one game at a time.”

LOUDONVILLE As she saw it, redshirt junior Kelsey Lane’s Siena women’s lacrosse teammates did the hard work on the plays that led to her career-best scoring effort.
“My teammates, they were able to just get me the ball, and I had the easy job to just put it away,” Lane said after the Saints’ dominant 21-11 win Saturday against Canisius in the MAAC quarterfinals. “They did the hard work for me.”

LOUDONVILLE Nicole McNeely and Mary Soures each scored four goals, as the Siena women’s lacrosse team picked up a 13-12 MAAC win Friday against Monmouth.
Siena never led by more than four goals in its senior-day contest at Hickey Field, but the Saints led for all of the final 54:55 after McNeely’s first goal of the game. A second goal of the game from Annie Brennan, a fifth-year senior, with 3:24 remaining in regulation put the Saints ahead 13-10, and Siena was able to hold off visiting Monmouth despite the Hawks pulling within 13-12 with 1:37 to go.

LOUDONVILLE Siena women’s lacrosse midfielder Annie Brennan, like so many college athletes, faced a tough decision last spring.
Concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic had abruptly ended her in-progress senior season, a campaign the Saints started with great optimism following their program-best season in 2019. The NCAA ended up allowing all spring athletes and, eventually, fall and winter ones, too an extra year of playing eligibility because of the disruption, but heading back to Siena was not a given for a player who has been at the heart of the improvement for a program that experienced only two winning seasons in its first 22.
