Teague the Fighter

Tuesday's contest was part of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association's Strike Out Cancer event, a nationwide initiative created to raise funds and awareness for the fight against cancer. It is a struggle that head coach Jennifer Teague knows all too well.

Bulls Swept By MAC Leaders

The baseball team took on the Mid-American Conference leader over the weekend and tried to pull off a major upset, but couldn't defeat the odds. The Bulls (7-28, 0-14 MAC) were outscored 27-8 en route to a sweep, extending their losing streak to 17 games, keeping them winless in conference play. Despite their poor performance throughout the weekend, the Bulls put together a strong outing in game one against Kent State (26-12, 12-3 MAC). Buffalo jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the second inning thanks to junior outfielder Jordan Camp's two-run home run to left field that plated sophomore infielder River McWilliams.
