The MAC's leading goal-scorer, UB midfielder Katie Krohn, discusses her preparation and mentality for success.
With one game to play in the regular season, UB sits at No. 6 in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) standings, ahead of Toledo and Ohio (5-7-5, 3-4-3). The top six teams make the MAC Tournament, leaving the defending MAC champion Bulls on the edge of postseason contention with one game, against Kent State (9-6-2, 6-4 MAC), left in the season.
The loss knocked UB to fifth in the MAC. They currently don’t qualify for the MAC Championship with five games to go.
Thursday’s game had both teams battling the entire 90-minute allotment, with each side holding the lead at different points in the game.
Last year, UB women’s soccer won its second MAC championship in program history after a historic 17-game winning streak. But that was 2022.
The Bulls kept up their reputation as a “second half team” in their last game before MAC play.
Despite tying their most recent game, three players stood out from the rest.
Women’s soccer was crowned MAC champions last fall and appears poised to repeat that success this season following a victory over Ohio State.
As another year of UB athletics wraps up, these are four moments and milestones that stand out across all sports.
Women’s soccer (15-2-4, 7-0-4 MAC) lost at Pittsburgh (13-4-3, 5-3-2 ACC) 1-0 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Saturday evening.
Women's soccer won the MAC Championship after defeating Ball State last Sunday. The Bulls will face No. 4 seed Pittsburgh in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday.
Women’s soccer (13-1-4, 7-0-4 MAC) defeated Kent State (4-7-7, 4-2-5 MAC) 2-0 to claim the Mid-American Conference regular season title Thursday.
The introduction of a mindfulness coach and a balance of youth and experience has turned women's soccer into the favorites to win the MAC.
Women’s soccer (12-1-4, 6-0-4 MAC) secured a spot in the Mid-American Conference tournament after defeating Central Michigan, 2-1, at UB Stadium on Thursday. UB then tied against Ball State on Saturday, which brought the Bulls to a 14-game unbeaten streak, tying the record-breaking 2014 UB team.
UB women’s soccer (11-1-3, 5-0-3 MAC) continues to find ways to avoid losing in conference play.
Women’s soccer (10-1-2, 4-0-1 MAC) defeated Eastern Michigan, 3-0, on Sunday at UB Stadium.
Sunday’s win marked not only UB’s sixth win in a row but its sixth straight shutout. The Bulls haven’t allowed a goal since Aug. 28 against then-No. 3 ranked Rutgers.
Women’s soccer (5-1-0) picked up its third straight win in a 2-0 shutout over Colgate Sunday at UB Stadium.
