ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Visiting Rochester used a pair of second-half goals Tuesday to rally past Nazareth for a 2-1 women's soccer victory in a non-conference game at Golden Flyer Stadium.

The Yellowjackets improved to 7-3-1 overall, while Nazareth had a three-game winning streak snapped and dropped to 6-5 overall.

In an evenly played match on the Golden Flyers' rain-soaked field, Nazareth took a 1-0 advantage on a goal with just :26 left in the first half. Freshman Julia Teran Pulford worked her defender along the endline and was able to draw a corner kick. She lofted a kick in front of the goal and junior Kaylee Benz worked through a maze of players to redirect the ball into the goal.

The score went unchanged until the 64th minute when Nazareth was whistled for a foul on the left edge of the penalty area. The Yellowjackets were awarded a penalty kick and Kirsten Ross converted to tie the score.

The Yellowjackets completed their comeback about seven minutes later as junior forward Ellen Coleman scored her team-leading 10th goal of the season with Bridgette Varin gaining the assist.

Nazareth had slim advantages in shots (17-16) and corner kicks (6-5). Hillary Simon made seven saves for the Golden Flyers and Bridget Lang had eight for the Yellowjackets.

Nazareth is home for a pair of Empire 8 Conference games this weekend. The Golden Flyers host Stevens Saturday and Utica Sunday. Both start times are 1 p.m.
