The Yellowjackets turnt up the pressure early on the Buffalo State Bengals Saturday night, scoring five goals in the first half en route to a 6-0 victory at Coyer Field. 

UR scored its first goal 3:40 into the contest when sophomore Sydney Holmes (#3) poked one by Buffalo State goalie Addy Williams (#1). This would be the first of Holmes’s two goals that night. 

Just over five minutes later, senior Natalie Kocsis (#26) scored the game’s second goal and her first of the season. 

Next, in the 18th minute, Kocsis found senior Claire Grover (#17) on the right side for the UR’s third goal.

Senior Jordyn Kowalkowski (#13) scored twice in the remaining minutes of the first half. First, she converted a 27th minute penalty kick. Next, she scored from deep in the 44th, extending the score to 5-0. It would stay that way going into half time. 

Holmes delivered the coup de grâce in the 54th minute while UR’s goalie trio of sophomore Kennedy Stark (#0), senior Grace Kuropatkin (#00), and first-year Marla Radikas (#1) kept the Bengals scoreless throughout the game. 

Overall, the Yellowjackets outshot the Bengals 22-5, with 17 shots on goal for UR and only three for Buffalo State.

UR’s dominant performance was good enough to warrant a #8 ranking. They will play an away game at St. John Fisher University next Tuesday, Sept. 17.



Interpreting speech prosody in neurodivergence

As we go about our everyday lives, we unconsciously pick up cues when talking to people — through this process, we can determine a speaker’s emotion relatively confidently from just their tone or pitch, especially if they are someone close to us.
