"Quick Hits: Volleyball, women's soccer split; men's soccer drops lone game "

Volleyball (16-5, 4-4 Mid-American Conference)

After dropping two of the first three sets on Friday night, the Bulls needed to win the final two sets to secure their fourth conference victory of the season on Friday night.

Buffalo rallied to take the final two sets, 25-21 and 15-12, against Northern Illinois (11-10, 3-4 MAC). Sophomore outside hitter Tahleia Bishop and senior outside hitter Christine Fritsche combined for 32 kills to lead the Bulls.

Buffalo was unable to carry this momentum into Saturday night, as it dropped its matchup with Western Michigan (12-9, 5-3 MAC) in straight sets.

Men's Soccer (2-9-3, 1-3 MAC)

The Bulls held their own for over 100 minutes against Akron (10-3, 3-1 MAC) - one of the best men's soccer programs in the country. But the Zips struck in the second overtime period, when Adam Najem scored off a cross from Saad Abdul-Salaam to end the game.

Buffalo junior goalkeeper Waleed Cassis had eight saves.

Women's Soccer (5-8-2, 2-6 MAC)

On Friday night, Buffalo found itself tied at halftime despite outshooting Bowling Green (0-12-1, 0-6-1) 16-4 in the first 45 minutes.

The offensive attack continued into the second half as sophomore midfielder Jackie Hall found senior forward Karen McMahon for the game-winning goal.

The Bulls, however, dropped their Sunday afternoon match with Central Michigan (6-9-1, 6-2 MAC), 1-0 in double overtime. Buffalo will close out its regular season on the road with the final three contests away from UB Stadium.
