Keuka College 6 vs. SUNY Canton 0
The Wolves looked to race past SUNY Canton early in the first half, but the Green and Gold's timing was just off as they were called for offside multiple times in the opening minutes. Keuka College had a chance in the 10th minute as
Nadia Wehbe laid a ball off to a charging
Jessica Miller. The graduate student went in on a breakaway, but it was saved by the Canton keeper. The Wolves would break through minutes later, however, as
Lydia Lane let a shot go from outside the box that went over the keeper and in for the 1-0 lead. Three and a half minutes later, Keuka College struck again. Kylie Sticker took the ball down the right wing and sent a strong cross into the box. The ball found the foot of
Cali Knapp, who put it away for her first career goal and 2-0 advantage.
It did not take long in the second half for the Wolves to add to their lead. Keuka got a corner kick early in the frame.
Anna Leone sent the ball into the middle of the box and
Delaney Goodenow was able to get on the other end of it in the middle of the box for the 3-0 lead 77 seconds into the second half. Keuka remained in control for the rest of the game.
Jessica Miller got on the scoresheet with Keuka's fourth goal in the 53rd minute. Less than three minutes later,
Lydia Lane made it 5-0 with her second goal of the game. The scoring was capped by
Ava Watt with 20 minutes left to play as the Wolves defeated the Roos 6-0.
