Short Story: The University at Albany women's soccer team opened its 2025 campaign on the road Sunday, suffering a 6–0 defeat against Georgia. 

Key Stat Lines 

  • Goalkeeper Claudia Volino totaled seven saves in her collegiate debut, including five in the first half. 
  • Defender Charlie Pawli made a critical goal-line block in the 3rd minute to keep the match scoreless early. 
  • Selma Elverum recorded UAlbany's lone shot in the 23rd minute. 
  • Georgia outshot UAlbany 34–1, with an 11–0 advantage in shots on goal. 
  • The Bulldogs held a 7–0 edge in corner kicks. 
  • UAlbany was whistled for six fouls, while Georgia committed eight. 
  • Alexis Gordon, Madison Wisheart, Charlie Pawli, and Claudia Volino all played the full '90. 

How it Happened: 
  • UAlbany's first major stand came in the '3 mark when Volino deflected a dangerous cross into the box. Georgia's Sage Glover attempted to score off the loose ball, but was denied by Charlie Pawli, who blocked the shot inside the box. 
  • Volino kept the Great Danes within reach throughout the first half, stonewalling a breakaway from Hailey Gordon just before the ''10.  
  • Georgia eventually broke through in the '11 when Summer Denigan buried a shot from distance to make it 1–0.  
  • Volino added a point-blank stop on Kiera Staude moments later, then denied Denigan twice, once at the '14th and again with a diving save in the '19.  
  • Elverum tallied UAlbany's only shot attempt of the match in the '24, as her shot missed just wide of the goal. 
  • Her fifth first-half save came in the '31, turning back a low drive aimed for the bottom corner. 
  • The Bulldogs doubled their cushion in the '42 mark with an own-goal and quickly tacked on another, heading into halftime with a 3–0 edge. 
  • Georgia extended the margin after the break with goals in the '51, '59, and '83 to take a 6-0 lead, where it remained until full time.
