VESTAL, N.Y. - After a strong performance to beat reigning champion UNH its first conference match, Binghamton women's soccer looks to remain unbeaten in America East play when the Bearcats (2-4-3, 1-0 AE) host UMBC (3-7-1, 0-0-1 AE) Sunday afternoon. The teams will kick off at 1 p.m. at the Bearcats Sports Complex.

Binghamton is 1-0-1 in its last two outings after drawing with Cornell last Wednesday. Junior keeper Kaitlyn Williams then posted her third shutout of the season on Sunday and sophomore forward Lauren Clark tallied the game-winner in the 32nd minute to lift BU over New Hampshire 1-0. Williams was named America East Defensive Player of the Week after lowering her goals against average to 1.35. 

Senior back Lexi Vegoda leads the team with three goals and eight points. She has converted all three penalty kick attempts to account for her scoring production. Clark has two goals, as does freshman forward Paige Luke. 

UMBC began conference play with a 2-2 tie against Bryant last Sunday. The win snapped a five-game losing streak. The Retrievers then followed up with a 2-0 home win over Iona on Thursday. Senior forward Meghan McKye leadsd the team with three goals and seven points. The team's other wins have come against Division II Kutztown (2-0) and LIU (1-0).

Binghamton leads the all-time series 16-2-2 and has won six straight, including a 5-0 road win last October. At home, the Bearcats are 7-1-1 against UMBC.
