BUFFALO, NY – University at Buffalo women's soccer head coach Shawn Burke announced the signing of Temple University transfer Moa Andersson on Tuesday. With the addition of Andersson, the defending Mid-American Conference champions will now welcome a total of eight student-athletes to its 2023 squad.
"Moa is going to make an instant impact in our midfield," said Burke. "She has a tremendous work rate and high soccer IQ. Her experience at this level and desire to win will pay immediate dividends for this group."
Andersson, a 5-4 midfielder from Valbo, Sweden, comes to Buffalo after two successful seasons at Temple, where she appeared in 31 games. She started all 16 games as a sophomore, totaling 1370 minutes. She tallied her first career assist on October 1 in a win over LIU. She made an immediate impact as a freshman, earning American Athletic Conference All-Rookie Team honors after starting in 14 of her 15 appearances and totaling 1,232 minutes, the most of any true freshman on the team. Off the pitch she was an Academic All-District selection.
She currently plays club for Gefle IF where she won back-to-back district championships and placed fifth at the 2016 Swedish Championship and advanced to the Goeransson Cup three times. She has also played for Sandiviken IF and with the Swedish Elitettan, Sweden's second highest series for women.
