Nazareth (2-1) got within eight, 25-17, on a jumper by senior forward Stephanie Bowens (Nazareth Academy/Rochester, N.Y.), but a three-pointer by first-year guard Stephanie Cochran (Mount Olive/Budd Lake, N.J.) put the Herons back in front by double digits for good.
William Smith carried a 37-19 lead into a break thanks to a 7-0 run to end the first half. After the intermission, the Herons saw their lead balloon to as much as 39, before settling into the 34-point win.
Senior guard Sarah Homer (Bethlehem/Delmar, N.Y.) and first-year guard Kelly Dunne (Northport/East Northport, N.Y.) led the Golden Flyers with six points each.
