DELHI, NY – Olivia Pye (Rangeley, Maine) and Kirra Magaña (Miami, Fla.) score two goals in under seven minutes late in the second half to lead the Mariners to a 2-1 North Atlantic Conference (NAC) victory against SUNY Delhi on Sunday afternoon.
 
How it Happened: It was a quiet first half for each team, as both squads were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities. SUNY Delhi got things going in the second half when they scored in the 57^th minute off a corner kick to make the score 1-0. After about 20 minutes of back-and-forth action, Pye was able to put the Mariners on the board when she scored off a rebound from a corner kick to knot the game at 1-1. The score didn't stay that way for long, as Magaña tracked down a deflected ball and put it in the top right corner of the net seven minutes later to put the Mariners up by one with 4:30 left in regulation. The Mariners hung on to their lead long enough to capture a 2-1 victory.
