ROCHESTER, NY – The Alfred University men's soccer team fell on the road in Empire 8 action to St. John Fisher College, 1-0 on Saturday afternoon.

The Cardinals (4-6-3, 3-2-1 Empire 8) got a goal in the 18^th minute off a corner kick that ultimately went on to become the game-winning score.

The biggest disadvantage in team comparison stats was in corner kicks as Fisher had seven in the first half and eight overall while AU had a corner opportunity once in the second half.
 
"Hard fought game today that ended in a loss," Head Coach Tracy Blake said. "We just didn't create enough clear-cut chances to get one on the board."

AU's offensive efforts were led by Michael Walther (Irondequoit, NY/Irondequoit) with two shots on goal as well as Gavin Harrington (Elmira, NY/Notre Dame) and Henry Smith (Manassas, VA/Lancaster) who both had two shots with one on goal.
