BUFFALO, NY – University at Buffalo men's soccer junior goalkeeper Joseph Kuta was named Mid-American Conference Scholar Athlete of the Week for the second time this year, as announced by the conference office on Wednesday. Kuta is the first UB athlete to earn the recognition twice in a season since Brittany Kuras in 2014.
An Economics major with a 3.936 GPA, Kuta had a great weekend between the pipes for the Bulls as he made a season-high nine saves in UB's 0-0 draw at Bowling Green, helping the Bulls earn the No. 3 seed in the upcoming MAC Tournament.
