PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Nazareth scored goals late in the first half and early in the second Saturday and the Golden Flyers held on to take a 2-1 non-conference women's soccer victory over Brockport in a game played at St. John Fisher's Growney Stadium. The game was the first half of a doubleheader for breast cancer awareness called A Golden Challenge for a Pink Cure Tournament. St. John Fisher hosts Geneseo in the second game.

Nazareth, ranked 21st nationally by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, improved to 3-1 overall while Brockport lost for the first time and also stands at 3-1. Nazareth dominated statistically with sizeable advantages in shots (29-7) and corner kicks (8-0). The game remained scoreless, though, until the last minute of the first half as freshman Rachel Dise scored her second goal in as many games as she converted a pass from sophomore Michaela Soules.

The Golden Flyers scored again in the first four minutes of the second half as junior Briana Vibbard also scored for the second time this season as she kicked in a rebound of her own shot that had caromed off the goal post.

Brockport scored just over four minutes later on an unassisted goal by Stephanie Drago. Sophomore Allison Dobles played all 90 minutes in goal for Nazareth and was credited with two saves. Laura Thompson played goal for Brockport and had 14 saves.

Nazareth plays two non-conference home games next weekend, hosting St. Lawrence Friday at 4:30 p.m. and Clarkson Saturday at 2.
