UB women’s soccer team has relied on a tough defense and star goalkeeper this season, but it’s Carissima Cutrona who has carried the load offensively.
Cutrona, a sophomore forward for women’s soccer (6-6-2, 3-3 Mid-American Conference), proves a team can’t win if they can’t score. Two years removed from ACL surgery, the training wheels are finally off for Cutrona this year. She leads the team with eight goals this season and is finally having the breakout season that many anticipated from her when she was a two-time All-American at local Williamsville South high school.
It has been a long journey back for Cutrona, who tore her ACL during her senior year of high school in 2014 and has slowly worked her way back ever since.
