Bulls Defeat Northern Colorado 2-0 in Non-Conference Finale

GREELEY, CO – The University at Buffalo women's soccer team (5-0-2) earned its fourth shutout of the year, defeating Northern Colorado 2-0 on Sunday afternoon at Jackson Stadium.
With the win, the Bulls finish non-conference play unbeaten for the first time since 1999.
Buffalo were the aggressors early on as Jasmine Guerber made a great run in the third minute and ripped a shot from inside the box, but Delaney Doremus made a great save. Later, Olivia Bizzoni slid a pass through the box to a charging Guerber, but she couldn't connect. Then, just seconds later, Maya Galko took a corner and curled a shot on target, but Doremus was there for the save.
The Bulls finally broke through in the 25th minute off another set piece opportunity as Galko took the corner and curled a ball net that went off the hands of Kaya Lindberg, who was on for Doremus, and into the right corner of the net to give UB a 1-0 lead.
The Bears started to get the ball into their final third towards the end of the half, but sophomore Lexie Thompson made a pair of stellar saves and the UB backline held tough as Buffalo maintained their one goal lead at the half.
Buffalo continued to attack early as Kaya Schultz carried the ball up field and found Woods out wide who ripped a shot that was saved. Later, off the thrown in Guerber settled on the left side of the box with nothing between her and the keeper but her shot attempt sailed wide right.
The Bulls added to their lead in the 61st minute as Schultz made a great run and found Guerber who is taken down in the box and Ellie Simmons converted on the ensuing penalty kick for her second goal of the season to put UB up 2-0 and that would be all they would need to secure the victory.
The teams were fairly even in the box score on total shots and shots on goal, while the Bulls held a 5-3 edge in corner kick opportunities. Thompson made four saves on the day while Doremus and Lindberg finished with one stop each. Graduate student defender Frederique St.-Jean was named Player of the Game by the UB coaches.
"We still have to get better in the final third and be more clinical because we should be scoring more goals but overall, I think we are trending in the way that we want going into conference," said head coach Shawn Burke. "Today especially it took every single player, to get through with the conditions. What a gritty performance by every single player who stepped on the field."
Up next, Buffalo opens Mid-American Conference play on Thursday, September 19 at Akron.
