In winning six of their first seven NEAC contests, the Wolfpack have outscored the opposition 38-3.
Wolf staked the Green and Golf to a 1-0 lead in the ninth minute when she buried a shot high into the right corner of the goal.
Morrisville State (4-4, 2-4 NEAC) outshot the Wolfpack 3-0 over the next six minutes, but the Mustangs' shots missed the mark, and Keuka College took a 2-0 lead when Fredell dribbled past two defenders and scored into the lower-right corner of the goal 14:58 into the contest.
Less than five minutes later, David extended the lead to 3-0 when she blasted home a shot from 30 yards out in the 20th minute.
Neither school scored again until late in the opening half. After David served in a corner kick, Wolf fired a shot on goal that was blocked, but Besaw was there to collect the rebound and score with 1:49 remaining in the opening half.
Keuka College took a 4-0 lead into halftime, and the defense made the lead hold. Morrisville had a shot glance off the crossbar, and Kosinski made four second-half saves, including several diving stops, to preserve the shutout.
