ALFRED, N.Y. – The hosting Saxons scored their goals in pairs tonight in their 4-0 win over the Hilbert College Hawks. The Hawks had chances early but weren't able to get on the board in this one.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

Goalkeeper Austin Boies was tested early on in the contest, making two saves inside the first ten minutes. The Hawks responded with pressure of their own by way of Jason Vullo and Cam Murdie shots on target. However, it was Alfred who would get on the board first in this one. Gavin Culley put his squad up 1-0 just inside the 15-minute mark. After another Vullo shot, the Saxons came right back down to double their lead with a Noam Sokolovsky strike just five minutes after the Culley goal. Boies was challenged three more times before the first 45 was up, and he was equal to the task each time to keep it a 2-0 game.

The Second half started off with back-and-forth action that included another Vullo shot, and three more Boies stops. The score stayed at 2-0 until two quick Saxon strikes 30 minutes in doubled the lead and put the game out of reach.
 
GAME NOTES

• Vullo tallied three shots on net.
• Boies made seven saves in his first 90-minute effort of the season.
