YPSILANTI, MI – The University at Buffalo women's soccer team played a road conference match at Eastern Michigan this afternoon, falling to the Eagles 2-0.
The Bulls and the Eagles played a tight first half, with the Bulls

handful of scoring chances throughout the game, notching three
shots on the day.
"We came out with good energy and created a lot of good
chances. I'm proud of the effort we gave today. We're
close to breaking through and we just need to turn the chances into
results in order to win games," said head coach Michael
Thomas.
Coron had five saves in the game, with Eastern Michigan outshooting
UB, 15-13.
