Wrestling Wins First Conference Dual Meet
By BEN TARHAN | Feb. 19, 2012This season has simply been one of struggle for the wrestling team. Despite some strong individual efforts, the team has looked nothing but lackluster for much of the season, as it has gone its first four matches into conference play without anything to show in the win column. For one day at least, it all came together. The Bulls (6-14, 1-4 Mid-American Conference) would not be denied a conference victory, putting on one of their most impressive dual meet performances of the season.

By TYLER CADY | Feb. 9, 2012Even though it may feel like UB is still waiting out winter in Buffalo, the spring season is about to get underway. The softball team will head to Florida for its opening games this weekend.
Seventh Heaven in Mount Pleasant
By NATHANIEL SMITH | Feb. 9, 2012Not one player on the men's basketball team has won in Mount Pleasant, Mich., and that was enough motivation for the squad coming into Wednesday's game. It wasn't the prettiest display of basketball, and the Bulls (15-6, 8-2 Mid-American Conference) got all they can handle from a desperate Central Michigan (7-16, 2-8 MAC) team, but they were able to squeak by the Chippewas 66-62 at McGuirk Arena. This marks the seventh straight win for the Bulls, after starting the MAC portion of the schedule 1-2.

Smith and Waste Lead Wrestling at State Championships
By BEN TARHAN | Jan. 24, 2012The 2011-12 season has been a test of patience for the wrestling team. The Bulls (5-11, 0-1 Mid American Conference) started the year with six straight dual meet losses and a tenth place finish at the Body Bar Invitational in Ithaca. However, the Bulls looked to be getting hot at just the right time after finishing fourth at the New York State Collegiate Championships last weekend. Despite sending a group of mostly young and inexperienced wrestlers to Cornell to wrestle against New York State's best, the Bulls were able to place seven wrestlers in the top six of their weight classes.
