It has been a long and frustrating season for the Buffalo softball team. It has been a year riddled with injuries, and its 37 losses prove that the team has been unable to overcome these challenges.
The Bulls took what belonged to them this weekend in Syracuse, N.Y. winning the Harvey Cup title for the second consecutive year on a beautiful spring day.
Mother Nature must have her seasons mixed up this year. Mid-way through April, the Bulls still can't get through a home game without worrying about winter weather.
With only six games remaining on its schedule, the men's tennis team is struggling to keep its head above water.
The men's and women's tennis teams soaked up the beautiful weather during their road trip down south, but it was the women's team who basked in victory.The women's tennis team squashed the competition in the Sunshine State, winning both games decisively and improving their record to 8-1 on the season.
After sweeping Marshall the last time the two squads competed in May of 2005, Marshall returned the favor defeating the Bulls in four straight this weekend.The Bulls (1-6) are currently on a six game skid having lost four this past weekend to the Thundering Herd (6-2). The teams played two double-headers at Epling Field in West Virginia, where they struggled at the plate and lacked consistency from their starting rotation.In the first game of the series, Buffalo showed some offensive firepower scoring eight runs in the first two innings.
Familiarity breeds success. The men's and women's track team proved this old adage true, as the team traveled to Akron for the third time in one month, to compete at the Mid-American Conference Championships.
After two more victories this weekend, the women's tennis team's confidence is soaring. On Friday, The Bulls defeated the nationally ranked Syracuse Orange at Syracuse's Drumlin Tennis Center.
