Women's Soccer

Buffalo's women's soccer team was officially eliminated from post-season play this weekend, as the Bowling Green Falcons defeated the Toledo Rockets for the eighth and final playoff spot. UB's chances of making the playoffs were slim, but not impossible. They needed Bowling Green and Toledo to tie, but an outright victory for either team would have taken the Bulls out of playoff contention. The Falcons won the game and have claimed the eighth seed in the MAC playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, the Falcons will face number one seed Kent State at Kent State.
