Bulls Conclude Play At Niagara Classic

Brooke McCalla

Despite tallying the same number of shots as AU for the game, each team finishing with 17, the Bulls were unable to close in on the Eagles’ three, early, first-half goals.

American scored first at the 13:51 mark on an unassisted goal by Krystn Hodge. The Eagles then increased their lead under a minute later, as Jess Cole fired a shot from 30-yards out, just out of the reach of Buffalo goalkeeper Amy Coron (Farmington, NY/Victor). AU scored again at 22:16 when Kelsey Brasher found the back of the net from the top of the box.

Courtney Mac Vie

Despite a frustrating first half, the Bulls were proficient in constructing scoring opportunities in the second half, outshooting the Eagles 11-5 and topping AU in corner kicks, 6-3.

Coron finished the match with four saves while Melissa Klein (North Bellmore, NY/Mepham) ended with three shots, two on goal and Brooke McCalla (Pickering, ON/Dunbarton) finished with three shots, one on goal. Ashley Turner (Olean, NY/Olean), Andrea Vescio (Niagara Falls, ON/ A.N. Myer) and Nikki Wilson (El Paso, TX/Franklin) each contributed two shots for the Bulls.

At the conclusion of the tournament, McCalla and senior Courtney Mac Vie (Tonawanda, NY/Kenmore East) were recognized for their efforts. McCalla finished the tournament with two goals, both in Buffalo’s 3-1 win over Binghamton on Friday while Mac Vie was part of a Buffalo defense that allowed just four goals over the weekend.

UB will return to action on Friday, Sept. 14 when the Bulls host Maine at 7:00 pm at UB Stadium as part of the UB Fall Classic.
