ROCHESTER, NY – The Alfred University women's soccer team traveled to the University of Rochester on Wednesday evening to take on the 20^th ranked Yellow jackets. The Saxons (4-2-2) fell for the first time since late August by a score of 2-0 to UR.
 
Rochester had several opportunities in the first half but First-Year goalkeeper Hannah Fuller (Binghamton, NY/Chenango Forks) was up to the task each time. She made three saves in the first half and five more in the second half.
 
The score stayed 1-0 as the Yellow jackets maintained the lead after the first 45 minutes of play.
 
The second half stayed tight with Fuller smothering shot attempts and corner kicks from Rochester.
 
In the 73^rd minute, UR was able to sneak one through to gain some insurance for the remaining 16 minutes of play.
 
A corner kick came late for the Saxons but that turned out to be one of the few second half chances they had as they fell to a tough University of Rochester team.
 
"We ran into a tough U of R team tonight," Head Coach Craig Yanni said. "I thought the first half we did a nice job competing. Letting up a late first half goal really hurt us and we had a tough time getting composed after that point."
 
AU will be back in action on Saturday as with an Empire 8 contest at St. John Fisher College. That contest will kick off at 7PM.
