Women's Soccer Posts 2 Losses at Home



Fairfield tops UB in OT

It took 97 minutes, longer than most Hollywood marriages, but someone finally scored.

Julie-Anne Forman's goal at the 97:55 mark of the first overtime propelled the Fairfield Stags to an emotional 1-0 win over the UB Bulls women's soccer team Friday night.

Forman's goal was the deciding blow in an evenly played match that saw both teams obtain and then squander opportunities in the late stages of the game.

Junior keeper Emily Cox made eight saves in goal for UB, and sophomore Nicole Olszewski posted four shots in the losing effort.

Bulls drop another heartbreaker

Another late goal, this one coming in regulation, doomed the Bulls to their second-straight loss on Sunday afternoon as they dropped a 2-1 decision to the Boston University Terriers.

Boston's senior forward Nicole Soules scored the game winning goal in the 78th minute of play on a hard shot from inside the box to the far right corner of the net, a blow from which the Bulls (1-3-0) would never recover. Soules also tallied an assist on the Terriers (2-1-0) first goal of the game.

Olszewski continued to provide the only source of power for a burned out UB offense. Her goal, which came on a shot from just inside the box and beat BU goalie Jessica Clinton 5:16 into the game, accounted for Buffalo's only score.

BU sophomore Rebecca Beyer evened the score at the 24:47 mark of the game. Beyer took a crossing pass from Soules and headed the ball into the net for the score.

Cox was a standout between the pipes for UB. She made 18 saves and kept the Bulls in the game as they were outshot 29-13. Clinton made eight saves in net for the Terriers.

The 1-3 start marks the Bulls worst start since 1997. Last season UB opened up with an undefeated 3-0 record.

The Bulls will be home this weekend to play two MAC games. Akron invades RAC Field Friday at 7 p.m. UB plays Kent State Sunday at noon.
