Bulls Drop Second Straight MAC Meet

By SCOTT RESNICK | Feb. 8, 2011

In the blink of an eye, a day that started with so much hope ended in disappointment and heartbreak for the wrestling team. After the Bulls (7-7, 0-2 Mid-American Conference) jumped out to an early 9-0 lead over Kent State (12-5, 2-0 MAC), they dropped six of their last seven matches en route to a 19-13 defeat in front of a raucous home crowd at Alumni Arena on Sunday afternoon. Head coach Jim Beichner felt the Bulls failed to take advantage of several key opportunities throughout the meet.

Bulls Fall Short in MAC Opener

By Brian Josephs | Feb. 1, 2011

In its last meet, the wrestling team rested its top athletes in preparation for conference play. That decision did not help the team as much as the coaches had hoped. The Bulls (7-6, 0-1 Mid-American Conference) hoped to open up conference play on the right foot against the Ohio Bobcats (7-3, 2-0 MAC) over the weekend.

Bulls Go Bird Hunting

By ANDREIUS COLEMAN | Jan. 30, 2011

Saturday wasn't a good day to visit Alumni Arena if you were wearing anything other than blue and white. Just days after senior forwards Kourtney Brown and Jessica Fortman made history in a huge win over Central Michigan (12-7, 4-3 Mid-American Conference), the Bulls (11-10, 4-4 MAC) trampled the Ball State Cardinals (9-12, 4-4 MAC) by a score of 77-61. The Cardinals seemed to be overwhelmed in the opening minutes, when Brown scored nine of Buffalo's first 11 points to put the Bulls ahead.

By CAREY BEYER and BRIAN JOSEPHS | Jan. 27, 2011

The athletic department's budget for paper is going to skyrocket in the coming days, because a few members of the women's basketball team have rewritten the record books. A commanding performance by senior forward Kourtney Brown helped the Bulls (10-10, 3-4 Mid-American Conference) outlast Central Michigan (12-7, 4-3 MAC), 92-89, on the road at McGuirk Arena. Brown became Buffalo's all-time leading scorer midway through the first half on a layup that tied the game.
