Box Score Alfred, NY (10/13/13)- The Utica College women's soccer team snapped its five-game losing streak as it downed host Alfred University 2-1 in Empire 8 Conference play Sunday afternoon.  Sophomore Krystine Alvear (Ossining, NY/Ossining) and senior Sarah Southwell (Rome, NY/Rome Free Academy) each netted goals for the Pioneers.

After a scoreless first half, Alvear broke the deadlock in the 69th minute as she tallied her third goal of the year, unassisted.  Alfred bounced back at 74:32 as Nicole Lobur was able to beat Utica net minder Jamie Enders (Cazenovia, NY/Cazenovia).  It was short lived however as Southwell found the back of the net for the game winner, just three minutes later.  Southwell's unassisted tally was her third of the year. 

Ender had two saves in the win, while Samijo Scheer had made five saves for Alfred.  Utica improves to 3-8-2 overall (1-4 Empire 8) while the Saxons fall to 4-9 with an 0-4 mark in the E8.  The Pioneers return to action next weekend as it travels to Rochester, NY for an Empire 8 match up against St. John Fisher.  Game time is scheduled for 2 p.m.
