How it Happened

• Ryan Cogill started the scoring for the Golden Wolves after Justin Poles played a fantastic cross field pass to Cogill, he controlled it and beat a defender and fired his shot low and across the goal and into the bottom corner of the goal to break both records and put Alvernia up 1-0 early. 
• Alvernia doubled its lead in the 24th minute of the game after Cogill flipped a beautiful ball to Zeke Zambrano down the sideline. Zambrano then glided down the field and slotted his attempt past the Albright keeper and into the back of the net to make it 2-0 Golden Wolves. 
• Connor Kraycik notched his name on the scoresheet five minutes later thanks to another great through ball from Cogill, Kraycik fended off a Lions defender and slipped his shot past the keeper and into the goal to make it 3-0 with under 20 minutes to go in the first half. 
• The Alvernia defense held the Lions without a shot in the final 20 minutes of the first half to take a 3-0 lead into the halftime break. 
• The Golden Wolves added one final insurance goal just seven minutes into the second half after Kraycik assisted Cogill who tallied his second goal of the game to make it 4-0 Golden Wolves with just under 30 minutes left in the contest. 
• Albright sent five shots at the Alvernia net with two going on goal but Alvernia keeper Evan Solley saved them both to secure the 4-0 shutout victory for the Golden Wolves.
