Piccoli scored one of Geneseo's five goals against last year's conference champion Buffalo State as the Knights ran past the Bengals, 5-0. The forward netted two more goals, including the game-winner, in a 3-0 defeat of Fredonia on Saturday as well. Piccoli is tied for the Knights' team lead in goals and is third in the SUNYAC with five.
