By Jordan Grossman | Feb. 26, 2015

When colleges are given the choice to either make a switch to Division II or stay in Division I, most would choose the latter. Not the UB women’s ice hockey team. The team – who made the switch to Division II at the beginning of the year– saw this season as a “rebuilding year.”

In her first season with Buffalo, Cordoba has been active in recruiting talent from her native Australia to join the Bulls. The Bulls feature four Australian freshmen this season, including Stephanie Reid, Courtney Wilkins and twin sisters Liisa and Katherine Ups.

The Bulls look to defeat Ohio on Wednesday

By Jordan Grossman | Feb. 24, 2015

In the women’s basketball team’s 78-68 loss to Miami Ohio on Saturday, Buffalo shot just a little over 40 percent from the field and allowed the last place RedHawks to shoot eight of 10 from beyond the arc. But the Bulls (15-10, 8-6 Mid-American Conference) will have to overcome a loss from a team that won three of its last 15 games to face a team that has won 13 of its last 15 games.
