Bulls Bounced by Bobcats on Senior Day

On Sunday, the Bulls fell to Ohio, 2-1. Before the game, the team honored its eight seniors, including Jocelyn Cibinskas, Coron, Caitlin Higgins, Sara Hilliard, Jessica Keaton, Jenifer Kern, Melissa Klein and Mihok. Freshman Stephanie Velez scored the only Buffalo goal at the 27:12 mark to give Buffalo a 1-0 lead. Velez’s sixth goal of the season came when Shannon Fisher fed a pass along the right side to Aubrey Stahl who perfectly placed the ball in front of the net where Velez booted it past the Ohio keeper. The lead didn’t last long as the Bobcats sent the tying goal past Coron at the 35:11 mark to send the teams into halftime tied 1-1. Early in the second half, the Bobcats capitalized on a UB foul, scoring a quick goal off a free kick a minute into the half to take the lead, and eventually win the game.
