ITHACA, NY – The Buffalo men's soccer team suffered a 5-0 loss at Cornell on Saturday night. The loss moves UB's record to 2-7-0 this season while the Big Red improve to 6-2-1.

"Cornell scored five goals from only five shots on goal tonight," said second-year head coach Stu Riddle. "We've been cruelly punished by some terrible individual errors. We are a good team and the players and staff all have great belief that we will be ready come MAC time."

Cornell opened up the scoring early on in the first half as Devin Morgan headed one past Waleed Cassis. Just over 14 minutes later, the Big Red made the score 2-0 when Stevin Bienfait scored his first of the season. The Cornell lead was extended to 3-0 just before half as Conor Goepel scored his fifth of the season.

The Big Red added two more goals in the second half to solidify the 5-0 victory over the Bulls. All five of Cornell's shots on goal ended up in the back of the net on Saturday.

Cornell earned a 13-9 advantage in shots and a slim 4-3 edge in corner kicks for the contest. Cornell keeper Zach Zagorski was asked to make four saves to preserve his clean sheet.

The UB offense was led by Russell Cicerone who finished with two shots including one on goal while Ryan Pereira finished off his night with two shots. Five other players recorded one shot in the loss.

UB will return to action on Wednesday, October 1 as they travel to take on Houghton in their final non-conference match before the Mid-American Conference season begins on October 10 against Western Michigan.
