The Highlanders got out to a fast start, taking a 1-0 lead in the 6th minute. The visitors added to their lead just 68 seconds later as Houghton took control of the game. Keuka College got their first chance to answer midway through the opening half, but the shot by
Cali Knapp was saved. Minutes later, the field flipped. Houghton shot the ball off the crossbar and was able to tap in the rebound to make it 3-0. Keuka had a late corner kick and shot but was unable to break through as the margin was three at the half.
The second half started much like the first, with Houghton netting a pair of goals before Keuka College was able to log a shot. The Wolves did get a corner kick shortly after, but it did not generate a shot for the Green and Gold. The Highlanders had the game in hand as they defeated the Wolves 5-0 on Saturday.
