Graduate student Zion Graf scored his first collegiate goal, an unassisted shot at 25' to put the Celtics (1-9-1, 0-4 AMCC) on the board first.
The Pioneers (11-2, 4-1 AMCC), however, tied it up less than a minute later when Andres Mateos found Nuri Sarbudak with a long pass.
The teams remained deadlocked at 1-1 heading into halftime, but Alfred State returned with renewed energy in the second half.
Twenty minutes into the half, the Pioneers scored three goals in a row at 60', 66' and 68' to take a 4-1 lead over the Celtics.
Alfred State knocked in its final goal at 77' to close the game.
Goalkeeper Kevin Garcia made 18 stops against a barrage of 23 shots in the complete game effort.
The Pioneers out-shot the Celtics, 42-5 (23-2 on goal) and held a 9-2 corner kick advantage.
