The women's tennis team has been struggling to win doubles matches since entering conference play. However, it needed the point in both matches this weekend.
The women sprinters have made a name for themselves recently, dominating last weekend at the Florida Relays and setting a school record in the 4x100-meter relay. The women continued that success this weekend at Bucknell University.
With more than half the season gone, the softball team has had its fair share of disappointments, most recently being a two-week stretch of losing nine out of ten games.
The UB athletic department received one of its largest donations in history on Sunday.
On Feb. 13 Warde Manuel left UB to take the athletic director position at UConn.
Last summer, then junior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zordich, were in the battle for the starting quarterback job.
One swimmer did something this weekend that no Buffalo female swimmer has ever done before - compete for a national championship. Sophomore Brittney Kuras finished 32nd in the 100-yard freestyle, 24th in the 200-yard freestyle and 35th in the 200-yard medley.
With temperatures heating up all over the country, the baseball team is starting to heat up as well. After starting the season 2-6, the Bulls (6-9) spent spring break on a seven game road trip to Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Senior Kevin Smith has been one of the standouts for the wrestling team this season. He was one of Buffalo's only hopes for Mid-American Conference glory in this year's tournament. But he fell short. On a day where Smith (28-7) and the Bulls (7-14, 1-4 Mid-American Conference) looked to add a MAC championship to their resumes, they fell well short of that goal as they finished last out of six teams in the MAC Championships in Athens, Ohio on Sunday. The Bulls finished with just 21.5 points, and watched Central Michigan (14-5, 5-0 MAC) win its 11th straight MAC conference championship. "I didn't think our teams' performance overall was very great," said head coach Jim Beichner.
