ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Sam Smyth scored twice and added an assist and Francesco Viavattene and Jake Adams each had a goal and an assist for host Nazareth Monday as the Golden Flyers closed out their regular-season men's soccer schedule with a 5-0 non-conference victory over Hartwick.

Nazareth is 11-6-1 overall and will participate in post-season play this weekend as the No. 3 seed for the Empire 8 Conference Tournament this weekend in Hoboken, N.J. Nazareth plays second-seeded Alfred Saturday at 12 p.m. with fourth-seeded St. John Fisher playing Stevens at 3.
