Junior goalkeeper Amy Coron became just the second goalkeeper in UB history to record consecutive 100 save seasons. Coron currently has 121 saves this season and finished with 101 saves in 2006.

Coron’s 121 saves place her in a tie with for sixth place all time in single-season saves while her 222 career saves places her in seventh place all-time. In addition, Coron currently leads the MAC in saves this season, a position the junior has maintained for a majority of 2007.

RedHawks Upend Bulls

Martina Pettenuzzo

The University at Buffalo women’s soccer team dropped a close match to Miami University on Sunday, falling to the RedHawks 2-1. The Bulls and the RedHawks played nearly 75 minutes of scoreless soccer, but Miami’s duo of second half goals in the last 20 minutes of regulation proved to be too much ground for UB to make up.

Freshman Martina Pettenuzzo (Arlington Heights, IL/Prospect) sparked the Bulls’ comeback, as the freshman scored the first goal of her career in the 86th minute on a header, deflected off the body of Andrea Vescio (Niagara Falls, ON/A.N. Myer). The assist was Vescio’s team-leading fifth assist of the season.
