BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo women's soccer team (8-2-1, 4-1 MAC) defeated Akron 1-0 at UB Stadium on Thursday night. With the victory, the Bulls extended their winning streak to four games.
Graduate student forward Jasmine Guerber was the hero of the night, recording a top-play worthy game-winner in the 63rd minute. She has now scored in three straight games and has five goals on the year.
The Zips controlled possession to start the game and had a pair of good looks in the 19th minute as Allie McMillen ripped a shot from point blank range, but Lexie Thompson made a great sliding save and then was there to make another stop 30 seconds later.
The Bulls then went on the attack a few minutes later as Sarah Woods weaved around her defender and put a shot on target, but Ariana Vakos made the save. Later, Adriana Victoriano cut back across to her right and fired a shot in stride, but Vakos came up with another save. Buffalo had two shots late in the half, but they were knocked away by Vakos and the Akron defense and the game remained scoreless at the half.
Buffalo came out and played aggressively out of the locker room as Liv Johnsen found space at the top of the box and drilled a shot, but Vakos made the save. Later, Maya Galko took a corner kick and played a great ball on target that grazed the far post, but the Bulls could not convert on the rebound.
The Bulls broke through in the 63rd minute as Guerber spun away from her defender and rifled a shot into the top left corner of the net from 20-yards out to give UB a 1-0 lead.
Akron had a scoring chance in the 69th minute as they took a corner that got knocked around the box by several players before the Bulls were able to clear the ball out of play and thwart the attack and that would seal the victory as UB held the Zips to just one shot attempt over the final 20 minutes of play.
The Bulls doubled up the Zips in total shots, 19-8, including a 9-2 advantage in shots on goal and a 5-3 edge in corner kick opportunities. Thompson made two saves on the night while Vakos made eight stops for the visitors.
Up next, Buffalo will hit the road for a pair of games, beginning on Sunday, October 5 as they travel to DeKalb for a contest at Northern Illinois at 2pm (ET).
