ELMIRA, N.Y. -- A thunderstorm Tuesday in the Southern Tier forced the postponement of the women's soccer game between Fredonia and Elmira.

While the Blue Devils (3-5 overall, 1-1 SUNYAC) got an unexpected day of rest, they also missed out on a chance to work on their collective game.

"We certainly wanted to get back on the field," Fredonia head coach Chris Case said, "after not getting the result on Saturday that we were looking for."

The Blue Devils were coming off a 2-1 SUNYAC loss last Saturday at Brockport.They will be back in action 1 p.m. Saturday at Buffalo State, minus the non-conference tune-up at Elmira.

"It would have giving us an opportunuty to continue to sort things out," Case continued. "We have been making progress and we will need to continue to make progress if we are going to make it to the post-season."
