BROOKLYN, NY – The University at Buffalo women's
soccer team dropped their second game of the weekend this
afternoon, falling to Long Island, 1-0, in a double-overtime
thriller at LIU Field. The game was scoreless for the first 100
minutes, but LIU put one past UB goalkeeper Amy Coron (Farmington,
NY/Victor) just 57 second into the second overtime to clinch the
Blackbird win.
The Blackbirds outshot the Bulls, 12-10, but the shots on goal were
even, with both teams having five. Buffalo's first scoring
opportunity came just three minutes into the match with a shot by
Melissa Klein (North Bellmore, NY/Mepham). Martina Pettenuzzo
(Arlington Heights, IL/Prospect) had two chances in the first half,
but was unable to get by the Blackbird defense. Lindsey Bailey
(Burlington, Ontario/Assumption) and Natasha Arana (Island Park,
NY/West Hempstead) also had scoring chances in the first half with
Buffalo outshooting LIU, 6-2. Freshmen Katie Kerr (Burlington,
Ontario/Nelson) and Taylor Thompson (Waterloo, Ontario/Sir John A.
MacDonald) each added a shot on goal for Buffalo. Bailey and Aubrey
Stahl (Loveland, CO/Mountain View) each finished the weekend with a
team high four shots, but the Bulls have yet to see a goal in their
first three games of the season.
Jennifer Mihok (Schenectady, NY/Guilderland) had another solid game
on defense, helping keep the Blackbirds scoreless for 100 minutes.
Coron had five saves in the game.
The Bulls are back on the road next weekend with games at Central
Connecticut State on Friday, September 4 and St. Bonaventure on
Sunday, September 6. Both games are slated for 1 pm.
