WILKES-BARRE, PA—The Alfred University men's soccer team (6-1-1, E8 1-0-0) defeated the King's College Monarchs 2-0 on the road Wilkes-Barre Wednesday evening.
 
It didn't take the Saxons long to get onto the board on the road against King's College Wednesday evening.  Sophomore Miguel Reyes (Valencia, Venezuela/Franklinville) grabbed an early lead in the 2^nd minute wrapping a free kick from just outside the eighteen into the back of the net. 
 
King's attempted to knot the game up in the 14^th minute when Chris Nygren rattled a shot off the crossbar.  However, the Alfred defense swept the ball away from the goal with haste to keep the Monarchs off the board. 
 
In the 43^rd minute, AU extended its lead when junior Aidan Calkins (Oakland, ME/Messalonskee) netted his second goal of the year, taking advantage of a rebounded shot from teammate Richard Lander (Narrowsburg, NY/Sullivan West).  The Saxons rode the 2-0 advantage into the intermission.
 
In the second half King's staunch defense refused a shot on goal for the Saxons.  In the 65^th minute, the Monarchs received a great opportunity to score.  Daniel Hernandez attempted a penalty kick against sophomore keeper Chris Gutierrez (Holbrook, NY/Sachem East) but the attempt was no good.  Gutierrez would not face another shot on goal the remainder of the game as the Saxons notched their sixth+ win of the season.
 
Gutierrez finished the game with five saves in the victory.  His highest total during the 2015 season.
 
The Saxons look to keeper their seven-game unbeaten streak alive on Saturday when they travel to Elmira to take on the Golden Eagles at 3PM.
