Stephanie Velez

The University at Buffalo women’s soccer team dropped their final game of the 2009 season to Kent State last Thursday afternoon, 2-0. Senior Jennifer Mihok had a shot blocked early in the match, and Stephanie Velez and Aubrey Stahl each added to the first half shot tally. Kent State took a one-goal lead late in the first half with a goal by Rachel Dennis at the 42:20 mark. The goal came as Dennis was fed a pass from the right side and booted it past UB goalkeeper Amy Coron . The Buffalo offense was quiet in the second half, as Lindsey Bailey and Velez saw the only two UB shots of the half. The Bulls played aggressive, collecting four yellow cards in the game, three of which came in the second half, but could not get on the board. Kent State scored an insurance goal off a penalty kick in the 82nd minute of play to seal the 2-0 decision.

Coron Finishes her Career As UB’s All-time Leader in Saves

She also holds the sixth spot, having tallied 128 saves in 2007. The senior finishes her career as a Bull with a four-year save total of 449, which puts her at the top of UB’s all-time career saves list.
