The decisive moment came in the 75th minute when Kadence York, assisted by Yetnelyz Lugo-Mateo, broke the deadlock with the only goal of the match on a well-placed cross, giving Herkimer a 1-0 lead. This goal proved to be enough, as Herkimer's defense held strong for the remaining minutes of the game.

Herkimer's goalkeeper, McKenzie Raine, earned a clean sheet with her first career shutout.

With this win, Herkimer College improved to 6-3-2 on the season, while Onondaga Community College's record fell to 8-2. The Generals head to Hudson Valley CC on Saturday for the second-to-last game of the regular season.
