BUFFALO, N.Y. - A late first-half goal gave Buffalo State a 1-0 win over the Oneonta women's soccer team on Wednesday afternoon. The Red Dragons fall to 2-7-3 overall and 0-3-2 in the SUNYAC with the loss, while the Bengals move to 7-5-3 and 4-1-1 in the conference.
Buffalo State's Addy Williams pushed aside early shots from seniors Kaiden Ring (East Greenbush, NY/Columbia) and Karsyn Kondracki (Smithtown, NY/Smithtown West) to keep the game scoreless. Oneonta goalkeeper Bryanna Meehan (Roxbury, NY/Roxbury Central) saved three consecutive Bengals' shots in the 23rd minute. After Meehan stopped a ball from Gwen Jarosz at 37:41, Buffalo State broke through in the 40th minute with a score from Reagan Michel off an assist by Lilly Jaroszewski.
The Bengals rattled off four shots on goal in the opening five minutes of the second half, which were all turned aside by Meehan. Junior Brenna Mast (Croghan, NY/Beaver River) took a shot at 54:24, but the Buffalo defense stifled much of the offense by the Red Dragons. Ring took one final shot at 88:25 that Williams saved.
Buffalo State outshot Oneonta 21-11 and held a slight 5-3 corner kick advantage.
Meehan made 13 saves in the loss, while Williams recorded seven.
