KEUKA PARK, NY - The Alfred University men's soccer team ended their regular season on a high note with a 2-1 win over Keuka College on Saturday afternoon from the Jephson Community Athletic Complex. 

The Saxons (4-8-4, 2-4-3 Empire 8) finished with 24 shots, seven of which were on goal. The Wolves (3-10-2, 2-5-2 Empire 8) were limited to just three shots on goal. 

Connor Scriven (Peoria, AZ/Liberty) scored his first goal of the season across two shots. Kalum Holbrook (Atlanta, NY/Wayland-Cohocton) also scored his first goal of the fall from a team-high four shots. Jon Nadolne (Port Washington, NY/Albertson ECNL) picked up two saves in the win for AU. 

"This season was a rollercoaster," Graduate Assistant Coach Andrew Barnikel said. "Each week brought its highs and lows. The guys learned a lot this season about the proper passion, commitment, desire, and courage necessary to be successful at this level. We brought all that learning together to this last game and our abilities showed. This game set a tone for next season. Congratulations to all our seniors on a fantastic career. Swords forward!

The Saxons wasted no time getting on the scoreboard, as a pass from Chase Freeland (Hornell, NY/Hornell) to Scriven found its way to the back of the net, giving Alfred University the early 1-0 advantage. The defense for AU successfully defended two shots on target from Keuka before they eventually scored an equalizing goal just before halftime. In the second half, a penalty kick goal for Holbrook in the 62nd minute put the Saxons ahead, 2-1. The defense allowed just two shots in the final half before securing the victory.
