Women’s Soccer Draws With Oneonta in Final Conference Game of the Season

BUFFALO, NY – Megan Chapple (Utica,NY/Whitesboro) scored for Buffalo State (7-7-3, 4-4-1 SUNYAC) in a 1-1 draw against Oneonta (6-8-3, 4-3-2) to close out regular season conference play on Saturday afternoon at Coyer Field.

Buffalo State came out of the gate aggressive, controlling the majority of the first half. The Bengals made use of their first corner kick of the game as Chapple scored in just the third minute off a great pass from Meghan Allen (Big Flats, NY/Corning East) that was headed by Victoria Colotti (New Windsor, NY/Newburgh Free Academy) and found the foot of Chapple right in front of the net.

Oneonta made a push towards the end of the first half.  Avery Serfis took a shot from the top of the box that hit the cross bar and became a loose ball inside the box. A foul on the Red Dragons gave Buffalo State possession.

The Red Dragons kept their drive up in the second half outshooting the Bengals 6-2.

Oneonta was awarded a penalty kick but goalkeeper Nicole Torres (Wantagh,NY/MacArthur) made a tremendous diving save to keep the Red Dragons off the board.

In the 76th minute of play, Oneonta's Taylor Messinna found the back of the net after a deflection off the cross bar that would send the game into overtime.

The Bengals nearly scored six minutes into the first overtime when Breanna Kinight (Valley Stream, NY/Valley Stream South) took a corner kick that found Colotti, but Rachel Berk made an outstanding defensive save to keep things tied. 

In the final overtime, Buffalo State outshot the Red Dragons 4-0. The Bengals almost scored a last-minute goal to capture the win on a penalty kick by Gina Taggart (Chester, NY/Monroe-Woodbury), but Oneonta's goalkeeper came up with the save.

Both teams finished with 11 total shots and six shots on goal, while the Bengals finished with a 7-4 advantage in corner kicks.

Torres recorded five saves in the tie.

Buffalo State closes out the 2014 regular season at home on Wednesday afternoon with a 3 p.m. game against St. John Fisher. The Bengals finish the SUNYAC regular season as the No. 6 seed and will play at No. 3 Fredonia in the quarterfinals on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 1 p.m.
