Early Second Half Goal Not Enough for Soccer in Setback at Buffalo
September 25, 2025 | Soccer
BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Ball State soccer team got an early second half goal by Delaney Caldwell but fell 2-1 at Buffalo on Thursday evening at UB Stadium.
The Cardinals (4-4-2, 1-2-1 Mid-American Conference) trailed 2-0 at halftime before Caldwell scored off an assist by Addie Chester in the second minute of the second period to get the visitors within one goal. The host Bulls (6-2-1, 2-1 MAC) faced six more shots in the half but prevented the Cardinals from knotting the score.
Caldwell's goal was her third of the season and second in three games, while Chester's assist was her fourth of the year. Both senior forwards took three shots, with two of Caldwell's being on goal.
Buffalo scored in the 15th and 34th minute to build the two-goal edge going into the break. The hosts took 8 of their 11 shots in the opening period.
Kate Pallante made five saves in goal for the Cardinals in her first career game going the distance. Buffalo's Lexie Thompson had one save on her way to being credited with the win.
Delaney Ahearn, Audrey Goodyear, LG Moncrief and Jordyn Klaasen played the full 90 minutes for Ball State.
Buffalo generated more corner kicks (4-2) on the day but was whistled for more fouls (15-6) and offsides violations (2-0).
The next match for the Cardinals is set for Thursday, Oct. 2 at Ohio.
