Randy Mayer (Akron, NY) scored his first collegiate goal and
Austin Lamay (Malone, NY) recorded his third consecutive shutout in a 1-0 win against visiting Skidmore College on Saturday.
After a scoreless opening half the Roos took advantage of a great opportunity early in the second half.
Hunter Mowery (Elizabethtown, NY) made a strong move beating his defender down the left sideline. He cut in towards goal at the left endline and hit a cutting Mayer perfectly inside the box. Mayer struck a one-timer into the left corner of the net for his first collegiate goal.
