WEST LAFAYETTE, IN - The UB women's soccer team fell to Purdue, 4-0, in the finals of the Purdue Boilermaker Challenge Cup on Sunday. It was the first loss of the season for the Bulls who are now 0-1-3 on the 2002 campaign.

The game was delayed 45 minutes in the second half due to lightning in the area.

Despite allowing four goals, goalkeeper Emily Cox (Fairport, NY/Fairport) made a season-high 10 saves.

The Bulls advanced to finals of the tournament after tying Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 1-1, on Friday night. UB won in a shoot out to earn the right to play Purdue.
