BUFFALO — Freshman Sophia Perrothers (W. Caldwell, NJ/James Caldwell) scored her first collegiate goal just 1:20 into overtime to lift No. 22 Buffalo State to a 1-0 victory over visiting Oneonta today at Coyer Field, securing the SUNYAC regular season title.
Buffalo State dominated possession in the first half, but could not convert six corner kicks and the game remained scoreless at halftime. The second half was more evenly played, despite Buffalo State continuing to outshoot the Red Dragons 10-6 in the period. Oneonta thought it had the go-ahead goal with 3:17 remaining, but the goal was disallowed due to an offside call. Perrothers blasted a ball from 15 yards out off a short pass from Melissa Smith (N. Tonawanda/Niagara Wheatfield) that glanced off the crossbar and in in the 92nd minute to end the contest in favor of the Bengals.
Taylor Carillo (Pine Bush/Pine Bush) equaled the Buffalo State record with her 10th shutout of the season, making two saves. Buffalo State finished with a 17-9 advantage in shots.
Buffalo State will conclude the SUNYAC regular season tomorrow at home against New Paltz at 1 p.m.
