Two first half goals were all the visiting WNEC Golden Bears needed in securing a 2-1 road victory over host SUNY Oneonta in non-conference action last Sunday at Red Dragon Soccer Field.

Moinzadeh controlled the ball, turned and shot a ball that landed just inside the left post for her first goal of the season.
DeSimone scored the final goal for Oneonta in the waning minutes after she collected a ball that came from the New Paltz defense on an attempted clear. DeSimone took the ball and dribbled to her right inside the box before rifling a shot that found the top right corner of the goal.
