The Golden Flyers had the first good chance in the opening minute as they slipped through the Keuka defense and went in 1v1 on Cangemi. The final touch was a little heavy and allowed Cangemi to come off his line to stop the chance. In the 15th minute, Nazareth College pulled ahead of the Wolves with a goal to make it 1-0. The Green and Gold hung with Nazareth in the half. Shots were 5-3 in favor of the Golden Flyers and corners were even at 1-1, but the guests led 1-0 at the half.

Nazareth College doubled their lead 1:58 into the second half. The margin could have been wider but Cangemi came up large stopping a Nazareth header attempt in the 56th minute. The Golden Flyers would limit Keuka's chances, however, and see the game out. They held a 9-1 advantage in corners and a 7-2 edge in shots as Nazareth College continued onto the 2-0 victory over the Wolves.

KC Notes:

• Keuka College falls to 2-7 all-time against Nazareth College
• It was  the first time the Wolves faced the Golden Flyers since the 2009 season and the first time as conference-mates
• Saturday featured a showdown of the two winningest coaches in Keuka College history. Nazareth is led by Matt Tantalo who coached Keuka for 11 seasons and is the program leader in wins. Keuka College's head coach Steve Christenson is second in program history in victories
