ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. - The St. Bonaventure men's soccer team continued on the winning side of things with a pair of goals against the Bulls en route to a 2-1 victory against Buffalo on a cold afternoon at McGraw-Jennings Field.

The Brown and White's snap the Bulls' four-year winning streak, starting back in 2005. The second consecutive win improves the club to a 3-4 record with one more game before Atlantic 10 action. Buffalo's loss to the Bonnies drops its overall record to 4-5.

"It was a great team effort. I think in past matches we have been inconsistent, not putting a good 90 minutes together. We're now playing a solid stretch of 90 minutes," said head coach Mel Mahler. "David [Flynn] played very well. Buffalo is a team that plays a direct style and Dave diffused a lot of those situations today."

In the 15th minute, junior Brett Allen sent a long corner kick to the center of the net to Tyler Bellamy. Fabrizio Savarino fired in the quick touch from Bellamy to put the Bonnies out in front, 1-0. Savarino's goal is the third of the season.

St. Bonaventure and Buffalo went head-to-head for the remainder of the first half as possession was shared on both sides of the field. The Bonnies held a slight edge in shots, 3-2, and in corner kicks 5-4 in the first half.

The Brown and White did not wait long to strike again. Senior Sam Maheu took a pass from Allen and jetted up the right side of the field to fire a quick shot past Buffalo keeper Nick Fetterman to secure a 2-0 advantage. Maheu's goal is his fifth of the year.

Buffalo got on the board in the 78th minute off a corner kick from Alex Marrello. Steffen Thoresen slipped one behind junior keeper David Flynn. The Bulls would not bring another offensive attack to match the Bonnies' two goals.

Keeper Flynn was on top of the ball today, picking up outside balls and knocking down quick shots. He picked up his 15th career win through three seasons.

St. Bonaventure travels to its final non-conference opponent, Little 3 rival Niagara, on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. The Bonnies beat the Purple Eagles in last year's match, 2-0.

"It has been a learning process for us this year to be more competitive through a match. We are moving forward in that direction. We have to opportunity to build upon this success against Niagara," said Mahler.
