Isabella Ekeze and Bailey Kline scored first half goals to stake Brockport to a 2-0 lead and the defense made it stand up in a girls soccer victory at Hilton.
About midway through the first half (times were unavailable due to a scoreboard outage), Ekeze gathered the ball at midfield and dribbled around and through several Cadets down the right side before finding the upper left corner of the net to break the scoreless tie.
Before the half ended, Shannon Allen sent a perfect corner kick in the slot where Kline was able to knock it in among many legs for the second goal of the game.
The Blue Devils almost netted their third early in the second half on a wonderful passing play from Chelsea Stahl to Kline to Melanie Kehoe, but Hilton senior goalkeeper Jordan Ott made a sprawling save – one of seven in the game.
The Cadets pressured through the final 20 minutes including Morgan Graus and Courtney Robinson sending balls just over the crossbar, but could not score.
Senior Hannah Visca made six saves in net in registering the shutout for the 4-1 Blue Devils.
