Both teams - despite having no shortage of talent - are currently having plenty of trouble posting wins on the baseball diamond this season.The Bulls (7-20, 1-4 Mid-American Conference) will try to get their season back on track as they host the Miami of Ohio RedHawks (20-11, 4-1 MAC) this weekend at the Amherst Pepsi Center.The RedHawks, the MAC's top ranked team, have won nine of their last 12 games and should be in top form, coming off a 14-3 dismantling of Wright State Wednesday and a series last weekend against the No.

By ROB BROBAK | Apr. 7, 2004The Bulls were looking to take a step in the right direction when they opened up conference play last weekend, but weather and the Akron Zips clouded those chances.UB (5-17 overall, 0-2 Mid-American Conference) will face cross-town rival Niagara (7-13, 3-1 Metro-Atlantic Athletic Conference) in a double header today at Amherst Audubon Field.Buffalo opened the conference schedule with two losses against Akron on Saturday.

Meet the Bulls
By ROB BROBAK | Apr. 2, 2004It was obvious when Andre Agassi appeared on "The Simpsons" and introduced himself to Homer. "Hi Homer, I'm Andre Agassi." Homer then replied, "the wrestler?"Tennis does not get the attention it deserves, and that certainly applies to UB men's tennis player Randy Rocchio.Rocchio, a 20-year old geography major, is a Buffalo native, growing up in East Amherst where he has cultivated his game since he first picked up a racquet at age six.By the age of ten, Rocchio knew he wanted to begin seriously training for tennis and has not looked back since.

The Ultimate Challenge
By ROB BROBAK | Feb. 11, 2004Even though the Buffalo Bulls have achieved some success this season, the definitive moment is yet to come for the scrappy squad.Buffalo has won four of the last five games, but that fact is rendered moot because of two, huge, make-or-break games that loom on UB's schedule.One of them is in two weeks at home against a Kent State team that squeaked out of Alumni Arena last year with a one point win.The other comes tonight against that same Golden Flash team in Kent, Ohio, where KSU rocked Buffalo last year, 98-55.
