In the 35th minute, junior defender Michael Linder headed in a goal off an assist from senior forward Jack Tamburino.
The Cardinals gave themselves some breathing from in the 82nd minute, when graduate senior midfielder Adam Grover dribbled the ball past multiple defenders before putting a shot past the Keuka goalkeeper for his team-leading fourth tally of the season.
