Spartan freshman goalkeeper Zach Richter and the AU defense limited the Cornell Rams to no shots in the first-half and just three for the entire game.
AU finally got on the scoreboard themselves with just under four minutes to go in the first-half. Freshman Nick Cataldi tickled the twine off an assist from Ediz Yorulmazglu for a 1-0 lead.
The Spartans took the 1-0 lead into the halftime intermission.
Just 3:40 into the second-half, Yorulmazglu tallied his first Spartan goal for a 2-0 lead.
