CLINTON, N.Y. -- Alex Rimmer scored a goal and added an assist Saturday to lead Hamilton College to a 2-1 win against Nazareth College in a non-league women's soccer game at Hamilton's Love Field.

All three goals were scored in an entertaining second half. Rimmer passed ahead to Anne Graveley, who drove a low shot just inside the right post for the game-winner with 5:15 left.

Nazareth (3-3-0) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 57th minute. Erica Conte popped a high ball into the penalty area where Anne Czelusniak headed a bouncing shot past the late-charging goalkeeper for her second goal this year.

The Continentals tied the score in the 67th minute on a goal by Rimmer. Megan Cairns pounded a long head ball inside the 18, Rimmer ran on to it and hammered a shot into the back of the net.

Liza Gergenti made two saves in her first start for the Continentals and Hillary Simon stopped five shots for Nazareth. Hamilton held a slight 14-12 edge in shots and both teams took four corner kicks. The Continentals have won four of the five meetings between the programs.

The Golden Flyers travel to SUNY Oswego on Tuesday, Sept. 21.
