This time around, the team did not just win; it dominated. The Bulls (7-3) won the UIC Tournament while going undefeated Friday and Saturday with victories against Western Illinois (1-7), Chicago-Illinois (4-6) and Eastern Kentucky (8-5). Buffalo is currently on a five-game winning streak.

Courtesy of Army Athletics Communications Trailing by eight points with 30 seconds left in its game against Army Saturday, the football team faced a fourth down on its own 32-yard line with no timeouts left. Buffalo had trailed by as many as 30 points in the fourth quarter, but with a potent passing attack, an onside kick recovery and a Black Knights fumble, the Bulls made it a one-possession game. With the game on the line, Buffalo called a draw up the middle with junior running back Anthone Taylor.
