UC Riverside 4, Buffalo 1 - Box Score
Irvine, CA—UC Riverside won its fourth consecutive match, defeating the University at Buffalo 4-1 Friday evening in the opening game of the Puma Classic. The Highlanders improve to 4-1-0 on the season while dropping the Bison to 2-3-0.
Senior midfielder Linda Allen started the Highlander scoring on a free kick just outside the box at the 12:17 mark. The goal was Allen's second of the season, matching her career-high, and seventh of her career. Junior forward Jenna Leonti followed, scoring on a header off a corner kick by sophomore midfielder Sarah Mohammadi at 33:25. Leonti's goal was also her second of the year and gave her 12 in her career.
In the second half, Leonti was again involved as UCR extended its lead. Sophomore forward Tessa Lennala took a rebound off a Leonti shot and put it in the back of the net at 50:55. Lennala registered her team-leading third goal of the year while Leonti's assist tied her career high of four in a single season.
UCR was dealt a double blow in the 58th minute. Buffalo's Jessica Roesch crossed to Cheyra Bell, who knocked in a consolation goal for the Bison. UCR senior goalie Tawny Poggio, who had one save to that point, was injured on the play and was forced to leave the game. Sophomore Brittany Goetz finished up in goal.
Junior forward Heather Miller capped the Highlander scoring at 87:11 with a goal in the left corner off a pass in the box from sophomore midfielder Stacie Anderson. It was Miller's first goal for the Highlanders.
