Keuka College 2 vs. Elmira College 0

The Wolves wasted no time on Tuesday as Alyssa Muszak took the initial possession into the Elmira circle and flipped a shot inside the right post for the 1-0 lead 18 seconds into the game. Play would become a battle for possession as neither team generated a quality scoring chance the rest of the quarter as the Wolves remained ahead 1-0 after one.

Elmira College had a spell in the Keuka College end early in the second but was unable to generate anything. Keuka added to their lead late in the half on a nice individual effort from Makaela Mills. She stickhandled through the Elmira defense and into the circle. Mills then found Kirstin Billings on the right post for the 2-0 halftime lead.

The field would slant in Keuka's favor as play slowed in the second half. Keuka College and seven shots and seven corners in the third quarter but were unable to generate any scoring.

In the fourth, Keuka had six corners that led to four shots but would be blanked again. Conversely, the Wolves held the Soaring Eagles without a shot or corner in the second half as Keuka College secured the 2-0 victory.
