Bulls Fall to Blackbirds in Double Overtime

The UB women's soccer team dropped their second game of the weekend to Long Island, 1-0, falling to the Blackbirds in a double-overtime thriller at LIU Field on Sunday afternoon. The game was scoreless for the first 100 minutes, but LIU put one past Coron just 57 second into the second overtime to clinch the win. Coron’s five saves in the game moves her up to second on UB's all-time career saves list with 348 saves.
