Upcoming Action

Wednesday, September 8
Binghamton at Bucknell, 4 p.m. -- Live Stats

The Bearcats and Bison, who are 1-4 on the year, meet for just the second time ever in an afternoon contest in Lewisburg, Pa. Binghamton won that contest, 3-2 in overtime, in 2005.

Binghamton, which is 1-3 on the season, earned its first win of 2010 Friday, a 1-0 decision over Delaware State.  Freshman Kaitlyn Cook scored in the sixth minute and was named America East Rookie of the Week. She has scored twice in four games and logged the majority of the minutes at the crucial center midfield position. Sophomore Sarah Furminger is tied for the league lead with two assists.

Delaware at UMBC, 7 p.m. -- Live Stats
After four straight games on the road, UMBC will look to snap a four-game winless streak when they host the Blue Hens in an afternoon contest at UMBC Soccer Stadium. The Retrievers are 5-9-0 all-time against Delaware in a series that dates back to 1990, but UMBC has won just twice in the last 11 meetings after taking the first three matchups. The teams have not met since 2004, a 3-0 victory for host Delaware. UMBC’s last win occurred in 2002, a 1-0 decision in Newark.

Freshman goalkeeper Lauren Kadet leads America East in both saves per game (8.0) and save percentage (.842). She made nine stops in a 1-1 tie against Campbell on Aug. 30. Sophomore forward Sarah Kopytko tallied her first career goal in that game. Freshman forward Amy Savage is tied for the league lead with two assists.
