BUFFALO, NY - The University at Buffalo women's soccer team (4-5-5, 1-3-3 MAC) heads back on the road as they travel to Akron for a clash with the Zips on Sunday at 1 pm.

The Bulls currently rank third in the MAC and in the top 25 in the nation in shutout percentage (.571) while also ranking third in the league in goals against average (0.86) and save percentage (.824). Two-time MAC Goalkeeper of the Year Lexie Thompson leads UB between the pipes as she leads the MAC and ranks in the top five nationally with eight shutouts while also ranking third in the MAC in save percentage (.824) and fourth in goals against average (0.86) and saves (56).
Akron is 7-5-2 overall and 3-2-2 in league play after defeating Central Michigan 1-0 on Thursday. The Zips are balanced offensively with 10 different players recording a goal this season, led by Rachel Wenzel who has recorded five goals on the year while Addison Hall and Hattie Yugovich have notched two goals and two assists each.
