BROCKPORT, N.Y. - The Daemen College women's track and field team closed out its 2015 schedule by taking part in the Brockport Golden Eagle Invitational here today.

Sophomores Hannah Rice (East Aurora, N.Y./East Aurora) and Mackenzie Donahue (East Aurora, N.Y./East Aurora), and freshman Amy Trabert (Amherst, N.Y./Amherst) all picked up wins on the track today.

Rice placed first among 21 runners during the 800-meter run with a time of 2:22.14, pacing a host of Wildcat mid-distance runners who fared well in the race.  Daemen placed four runners among the top six finishers in the 800-meter run.
