Natalie O'Brien (Syracuse, NY /East Syracuse-Minoa Central) put a shot on goal in the opening minutes of the second half but that attempt was stopped by the Keuka goal keeper.
 
In the 64^th minute, Keuka would add another goal to gain the advantage.
 
The Wolves were able to hold on the defensive end from that point on and come away with the close victory. 
 
AU will put this one behind them and look forward to Saturday's Empire 8 game against Utica College at 1PM in Yunevich Stadium.
