ROCHESTER, NY- The Utica College men's soccer team dropped its final game of the 2016 campaign as it fell to host Nazareth College 2-0 in Empire 8 Conference action Saturday.
 
The Golden Flyers scored two goals just four minutes apart at the end of the first half, both off the feet of Lucas Bennett, to take a 2-0 lead into halftime.  That was all Naz needed as it shut the door on the Utica offense.
 
Junior Matthew Milograno (Marcy, NY/Whitesboro) totaled 11 saves in net for the Pioneers, while Joseph Hunter (Plymouth Meeting, PA/Plymouth-Whitemarsh) led the way with three shots on goal.  Naz's Nate Ripic made six saves in the win.  Milograno finishes the season with 93 saves, which ranks four on the College's single-season list. 
 
The Pioneers wrap up the season with an overall record of 2-13-1 and 1-5-1 in the Empire 8.  UC will bid farewell to six seniors, including Joseph Hunter (Plymouth Meeting, PA/Plymouth-Whitemarsh), Matt Beljan (Bedminster, PA/Christopher Dock), Marcel Dupuis (Hannacroix, NY/Greenville), Patrick Claffey (Burlington, CT/Lewis Mills), Owen Gillam (Bristol, CT/Bristol), and Nick Hallett (Adams, NY/South Jefferson CSD).
