In a crucial conference match up against the top team in the Mid-American Conference, Ball State fell to Buffalo 2-1 in overtime.

The Cardinals kept the Bulls out of the net late into the second half and were leading 1-0 ever since a first half penalty kick by Orla Travers-Gillespie. 

It looked as if Ball State would hand Buffalo its first MAC loss of the season, but the Bulls scored late, tying the match with a goal from Katie Roberts.

The match went into overtime, where Roberts scored again, this time off a penalty kick to keep its undefeated MAC record intact.

With the loss, Ball State has its three game shutout winning streak snapped and falls to 9-5-2 overall and 5-4 in conference. 

Ball State’s next challenge takes them to Akron, Ohio on Oct. 26, for the last away game of the regular season.
