BUFFALO, NY - For the first time in her UB career, freshman defender Marcy Barberic was named Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday. Barberic becomes the first UB player this season to earn the weekly recognition.
Barberic continued her high level of play defensively this week for the Bulls as they went 1-0-1 in their first road weekend of the MAC slate. On Friday, Barberic netted her first career goal, a laser into the upper corner of the net, to give the Bulls the early 1-0 lead.
