Lee Catchpole scored his first career goal on a penalty kick in the second overtime period to give the UB men's soccer team a 3-2 edge over Rider University last Friday. Sophomore Andrae Clarke and team-leading goal scorer Braden Byler each added a goal to the scoreboard for UB during regulation, but the Bulls were unable to hold onto the lead, giving up two goals to Rider's Sandro DeCristofaro in the final 4:07 of regulation to send the game into overtime. Goalkeeper Daniel Bell registered three saves on the night for the Bulls, who improved to 5-0-1 on the season with Friday's win.

On Sunday, the UB men's soccer team used a two-goal performance by freshman Lee Catchpole to remain undefeated on the 2004 season with a 4-2 win over non-league opponent St. Francis (PA) (1-3) on Sunday.
