Solid defensive play from Dallas Kaiser and Glenn Roschetzky kept the teams knotted at zero headed into halftime. Senior goalkeeper, Joe Catalfamo registered four saves to keep the Yellowjackets from finding the back of the net in the half.

Despite the Cardinals' aggressive second half play, Rochester opened up the scoring with a goal in the 58th minute.

Fisher would finish the day with eight total shots with Bonetto leading the squad with three of his own. Balls and Roschetzky tallied two apiece, while Tanner Smith added a single shot.

Despite picking up the loss in net, Catalfamo was a wall as the senior recorded nine total stops on the day.
