Entering Saturday night's meet, both the Buffalo Bulls wrestling team and Binghamton looked to secure a victory to finish their seasons with .500 records.
Coming in to Friday night's meet against their Mid-American Conference rival the Kent State Golden Flashes, the Buffalo wrestling team was hoping to break a four game losing-streak.The Bulls' match against the Golden Flashes marked Buffalo's last home meet of the season, and the seniors were recognized before the meet.
Emotions were charged Saturday night when the Bulls took on their Mid-American Conference nemesis the Central Michigan Chippewas.
It was a defensive smorgasbord for the Ball State women's basketball team this Saturday. During the Bulls showdown against their Mid-American Conference rivals, Buffalo managed to turn the ball over 23 times, eight of which coming from the first four possessions of each half.Head coach Linda Hill-MacDonald recognized the team's lack of ball security in its 59-55 loss.
The savviness of the Irish Classical Theatre paired with Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter guarantees a quaint departure from traditional theatre."The Birthday Party," directed by Greg Natale, is a theater production about middle-aged Stanley Webber (Todd Benzin) who is affectionately described by Lulu (Leah Russo) as "a bit of a washout." Stanley is staying at a boarding house by the ocean owned by the elderly couple Meg and Petey (Josephine Hogan, Gerry Maher). These uncanny roommates go about their daily business, which involves Meg asking Petey if his "cornflakes are nice," to which he always replies, "oh, very nice." The seating affectionately envelops the stage, creating a personal environment that draws the audience nearer to the player's dysfunctional antics.
It was a rumble in the Buckeye state Saturday night when the wrestling team faced off against its Mid-American Conference foe Ohio.
