Buffalo burned on West Coast trip

With spring breakers out of town for a week of sun and sand, the softball team continued play on the diamond as it traveled to the West Coast for two tournaments in a nine-day span.Starting in San Diego, Calif., the Bulls competed in the San Diego Classic and continued up the coast for the Long Beach State Tournament to round out the week.Head coach Jennifer Teague understands that her team didn't finish as well as it would have liked, but is convinced that facing fierce competition will only help prepare her squad for the end of the season."We went cold at the end of the week," Teague said.
