BUFFALO, NY - The University at Buffalo women's soccer team (8-2-1, 4-1 MAC) continues Mid-American Conference play on Thursday with an afternoon matinee at conference newcomer Massachusetts.
It is the first ever meeting between the two programs.
Buffalo put forth a dominant second-half effort as the offense exploded for five goals in a 5-0 win at Northern Illinois on Sunday. Senior forward Marissa Foster had a historic day as she recorded a hat trick in the win. The five total goals were the most scored by the Bulls since a 6-2 win over Niagara in 2021 and the most in a league win since a 5-0 win over Miami (OH) in the Covid-shortened 2020 season. The Bulls outshot the Huskies 13-11, including a 9-4 advantage in shots on goal while also earning six corner kick opportunities. Junior Lexie Thompson made three saves on the afternoon.
The Bulls are balanced offensively, with 24 goals scored off the feet of 10 different players, led by graduate student forward Jasmine Guerber and junior midfielder Laiken Kiser who have five goals each. Thomspon leads the Bulls between the pipes, compiling a 9-2-1 overall record. She leads the MAC ranks in the top 25 nationally in goals against average (.51) and shutouts (6) while ranking second in the league in save percentage (.850) across 12 contests.
As a team, the Bulls lead the MAC and rank in the top 25 nationally in goals against average (.50), shutout percentage (.583) and goal differential (18). Offensively, the Bulls lead the league in shots per game (14.9), shots on goal (7.8) per game while ranking in the top three in points (69), goals (24), assists (21), scoring offense (2.0) and corner kicks per game (5.7).
Massachusetts is 4-5-2 overall and 2-3-0 in league play after defeating Central Michigan 2-0 on Sunday. The Minutewomen are balanced offensively with nine different players recording a goal on the season, led by Morgan Bellamy with two scores. Redshirt freshman Leah Nisenfeld leads UMass between the pipes, compiling a 4-5-2 overall record with a 1.50 goals against average, .761 save percentage and 51 saves across 11 contests this season.
Up next, Buffalo returns home to host Central Michigan on Sunday, October 12 at 1pm. It will be Senior Day at UB Stadium and fans are encouraged to stay for a special postgame ceremony, presented by the UB Office of Alumni Engagement.
